| Message from the Chapter President |
Aloha
Kakou Chapter Members,
I
hope this message finds you well. It has been a difficult few months, but
I am encouraged at the resilience and comradery we have seen in our communities
as we navigate through life with Covid-19. I applaud our health care
workers, support staff, and leaders like yourselves for the heroic work caring
for the people of hawaii with such grace during this pandemic. The
community is equally appreciative, one of the most endearing events I listen to
every night, is the 7pm cheering that echoes throughout Waikiki. It is
humbling to see thousands of people on their balconies, clapping and banging
pots in support of our first responders, critical workers, and healthcare
personnel. It is times like this that remind us why we entered into
healthcare, and the positive impact we make in our community.
Our
local ACHE board continues to meet virtually each month to discuss chapter
initiatives and activities. Due to Covid-19, we have decided to postpone
our (July) Annual ACHE breakfast meeting this year. More information
regarding this event, and other opportunities for CEU’s, will be forthcoming
soon. In the interim, I encourage all of our members to peruse ACHE’s Covid-19
Resource Center,
which has a plethora of trainings and other useful information. I’ve
found the (free) webinars particularly enriching, with some of the top
healthcare leaders in the country detailing their experiences operating in this
“new norm.” Thank you for your support of the Hawaii-Pacific Chapter of
ACHE, and I hope to see you all in-person again someday soon. Stay Safe
& Aloha!
Aloha
Kakou Chapter Members,
Mahalo
