Queen's in talks to buy St. Francis West

Submitted by HawaiiNewsNow W... on Friday, May 11th, 8:34 pm

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow)- The former Hawaii Medical Center West is on its way to new life. After closing five months ago much of the Leeward community was left without a nearby emergency room. But now the Queen's Health Systems has signed a letter of intent to explore the possibility of buying the facility from St. Francis Healthcare System. It's the prognosis Leeward Oahu residents were looking for to help them breathe easy.

"We are looking forward to working with Queen's to revitalize the West campus to continue the legacy of caring established by Saint Marianne Cope and the Sisters of St. Francis. We believe that Queen's is well positioned to provide quality acute health care to the Leeward community," said Jerry Correa, President and Chief Executive Officer of St. Francis Healthcare System of Hawaii, in a written statement.

Queen's is optimistic but also cautious because the sale is still in its infancy.

Wanted sex offender captured on Oahu

Submitted by HawaiiNewsNow W... on Friday, May 11th, 5:26 pm

LIHUE, Kauai (HawaiiNewsNow)- The Kauai Police Department reports that wanted sex offender Brian K. Lopes was captured by U.S. Marshals on Oahu this morning.

The U.S. Marshals Service Adam Walsh Task Force located and arrested Lopes at 9:45 a.m. in Waianae. Upon receiving medical clearance from Straub Hospital, Lopes was transferred to the state's Sherriff's Office where he awaits extradition back to Kauai.

Lopes was the last of 24 non-compliant sex offenders previously wanted by police.

Acting on a tip that Lopes may have recently fled to Oahu, KPD reached out to the U.S. Marshals Service for assistance.

"This arrest is an example of Hawai'i law enforcement's ability and commitment to collaborate and reach out across the state to apprehend those who try to elude justice," said Deputy Police Chief Michael Contrades. "We are very appreciative of the expeditious efforts of the U.S. Marshals Service."
