Excellent read just posted by Janis Magin Meierdiercks at Hawaii Business Magazine on the sprinkler retrofits facing so many condo buildings. This will be a massive issue for many of Hawaii's condo Boards as they seek to avoid a fire like the one at Marco Polo. Mahalo to our clients over at HCA Consulting Group International and Tom Roselli for providing expertise and background info on this.

Shout out to Lynn Kenton for her great input.

After the deadly Marco Polo fire of 2017, older Honolulu high rises were required to install sprinkler systems or pass a safety evaluation, but compliance is slow going. Now state legislation asks them to add the costly systems to their reserve studies.

It's time to let Hawaii's best healthcare professionals shine.

We just launched my favorite campaign of the year, Hawaii Healthcare Heroes, in collaboration with the Healthcare Association of Hawaii and presented by Hawaii Pacific Health.

Mahalo, Hawaii News Now, for sharing the news! Nominations are already coming in and we're hearing Hawaii patients share stories about the memorable healthcare professionals who made lives better.

This recognition means so much to our local healthcare professionals who put others ahead of themselves. Thank you for the work you do! Mahalo to those who made this program possible Adventist Health Castle, Hilo Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente Hawaii, Maui Health, Ohana Pacific Health, Hale Makua, Queen's Health Systems Queen's Medical Center-ER.

We're so grateful to have been able to celebrate a live, in-person gala celebration on Saturday with our client, the Healthcare Association of Hawaii.

Check out the Honolulu Star-Advertiser's coverage of Hawaii's private, acute-care ' recent . The Healthcare Association of Hawaii just released the Community Health Needs Assessment after nearly a year of community and research to assess the most significant needs in our state.

With a focus on the , the report delves into areas not typically associated with hospitals, such as financial security, food security, housing and equitable access.

Read and share the report at www.hah.org/chna to see why Hawaii is so unique among other states. In true aloha style, all private hospitals collaborate to produce a core report that is then customized by each participating hospital. Each hospital also identifies action steps to address targeted health needs, some of which are the subject of existing efforts with community partners.

A special shout-out to Jodi Hashimoto of SHC Hawaii and Ward Research for their amazing work!
