The Straub Clinic and Hospital

Straub Clinic & Hospital was founded in 1921 as "The Clinic" by Dr. George F. Straub. Dr. Straub was educated in Germany and came to practice in Hawaii in 1907. In 1910, he conceived the idea of forming a group of physicians to provide better, more specialized care for his patients. It, however, took over 10 years to bring this idea to fruition.

Dr. Straub's influence on "The Clinic" was profound and distinctive. His favorite mottoes were, "To win the race or die running", and "Take care of patients and they will take care of you". Another motto derived from his name was, "Such true rivalry as unity begets". In 1952, after years of success and growth, "The Clinic" was renamed "Straub Clinic" in honor of Dr. Straub. Dr. Straub died in May, 1966. In the time since Dr. Straub's death, there have been major and dramatic changes at Straub.

In July 2005, the Straub Clinic hired Energy Industries to help them save energy in their parking garage. The project called for the removal of 150 watt high pressure sodium fixtures and the installation of 85 watt induction QL fixtures. The results, a 15% decrease in electrical consumption, a 50% increase in foot candles and a reduction from a 24,000 hour fixture to a 100,000 hour fixture.
