Hilo Benioff Medical Center — Hilo, HI

Allied work at Hilo Benioff is emergency-, imaging-, and med/surg-driven — a community-hospital footprint rather than a subspecialty referral center.

• The 28-bed emergency department, the state's second busiest, sets the pace for emergency imaging around the clock.
• The Imaging Department spans inpatient and outpatient radiology, including cardiovascular imaging, across the hospital and clinics.
• Stroke, heart-attack, and trauma activation teams pull imaging and intervention onto fast clocks.
• A 15-bed telemetry Progressive Care Unit and the ICU — both Beacon-recognized — anchor respiratory-therapy and monitoring work.
• Maternity and behavioral health fill out the case mix; some complex subspecialty cases may require transfer to larger referral centers.
