Preparing for the Birth
   
Pre-Registering
 
By registering in advance, expectant mothers can be assured that the hospital will have all the basic information it needs before the big day arrives. Pre-admission forms are available in the Admission office. Just complete this form and drop it off at our admitting office during regular business hours, or mail it to the Admissions Department, 128 Lehua Street, Wahiawa, HI 96786.
