Papa Ola Lōkahi was honored to partner with ʻ Pashyn Santos, local filmmakers, and Hawaii news outlets for Our Kuleana, Made with Pashyn ʻ - a project meant to open the door for conversations about COVID-19, its impact on our community, and the controversy surrounding vaccination.

Pashyn has always leveraged humor and entertainment to bring light to important social conversations, and it is our hope that this special does exactly that. This fast-paced, fact-filled, half-hour program will bring joy to everyone, regardless of their stance on vaccination.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Papa Ola Lōkahi has tried to engage community through different mediums - in-person events, social media campaigns, and PSAs. Education and awareness are the key components in building a healthy, happier, and safer Hawai'i for everyone

Papa Ola Lōkahi, in partnership with 'Ahahui o nā Kauka, Association of Native Hawaiian Physicians, has embarked on an campaign to raise awareness of issues around Hawaiian involvement in genetic and genomic research for medical purposes. We have begun by introducing a series of presentations on Hawaiian Genomics in the fall of 2020, and we are providing a reading list below. Eventually, we will be reaching out to Hawaiian communities for guidance. Meanwhile, check back here regularly to catch up on the resources so that you and yours are able to make informed recommendations.

Alexander Friedenburg Ka'ōhiai Ka'ōnohi, 1905-1960, was a naturopathic physician, pharmacist and botanist descended from a long line of Hawaiian healers. He was a pioneer in integrating western and traditional practices into his daily healing work.

Alexander was born April 24, 1905 to James Ka'ōhiai Ka'ōnohi and Minnie 'Awa'awa Friedenburg. His grandfathers and great-grandfathers were herbal medicine practitioners

His obituary claims he was the only licensed Hawaiian drugless physician in Hawai'i when he opened up his new clinic, Ka'ōnohi Naturopathic Clinic, on the corner of Castle and Kapāhulu streets in Honolulu. He specialized in Hawaiian herb treatments, drugless medicine and bloodless surgery. He had branches on Maui and Hawai'i Island, where he saw patients and mentored younger medical and lā'au lapa'au practitioners.

Dr. Ka'ōnohi graduated from the Standard and National College of Drugless Naturopathic Physicians in Chicago with doctorate degrees in naturopathy and drugless medicine, and a masters in natural medicine. He was also certified in pharmacy.

Dr. Ka'ōnohi has been an inspiration to the Hawaiian health community for his holistic approach to healing and his commitment to mentoring others striving to serve the greater good.

Thus, Papa Ola Lōkahi has presented the Ka'ōnohi Award to 64 individuals for their significant contributions to the health and well-being of Native Hawaiians and their families.

Learn more about Dr. Ka'ōnohi in this 2011 video.

Hau'oli Lā Hānau, Dr. Ka'ōnohi!

Papa Ola Lōkahi executive director Sheri-Ann Daniels and the directors of the five Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems are monitoring Hurricane Lane. We are all taking precautions to assure our clients, patients, and employees are safe, and facilities are secured.

The cone generated by the projected path of Lane indicates all islands will be impacted from Thursday though Saturday. Expect to experience intense showers and thunderstorms, flooding and high surf. There is a high likelihood that we will all see winds of 40 MPH or higher.

A HURRICANE WARNING is currently in effect for the Island of Hawai'i and Maui County, which includes Molokai, Lāna'i and Kaho'olawe.

A HURRICANE WATCH is in effect for O'ahu and Kaua'i.

By Thursday, Papa Ola Lōkahi will be closed. Hawai'i Island has already cancelled its classes around the island, and the other NHHCSs are expected to announce adjusted hours for the rest of the week. Please check their respective websites for updates.

Other resources

Your county office of civil defense will have a list of the emergency shelters on each island.

Be safe, stay informed, kōkua one another.

Our Mission & Who We Are

As a nonprofit organization based in Arizona, we serve as a resource for educational and cultural enrichment, as well as health and government services locally to the Pacific Islander Community.

For over five years, Island Liaison, Inc. has served Pacific Islanders with a focus on people from the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau collectively known as the Freely Associated States (FAS). The FAS islanders living in Arizona are here in the U.S. under an Agreement of Compact of Free Association (COFA) which allows them to reside and work in the U.S. and are lawful present qualified non-citizens. These Islanders are not eligible for many federal or state services and Island Liaison links them with locally available health and human services programs and educational opportunities.
As of December 2020, Congress restored Medicaid (Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System) eligibility to the COFA Agreement.

Mission
KCSC's mission is to assist and empower Asian Americans and new immigrants to become well-adjusted and fully contributing members of the United States through social services, education, advocacy, and development of resources.

Vision
To promote the well-being and quality of life of Asian American community members.

Korean Community Service Center of Greater Washington was founded in 1974 by a pastor and his congregation who made a commitment to provide basic transportation and interpretation/translation assistance to newly arrived visitors and immigrants from Korea. They also helped these newcomers rent apartments, set up phone and utilities services, and enroll their kids in school. Over the past 40 years, KCSC has grown and evolved into the largest bilingual and bicultural Korean social service agency in the DC metropolitan area. KCSC has expanded and outgrown our original name, now providing services to other Asian immigrant communities living in the metro DC area. KCSC has served more than 150,000 Asian American immigrant families since it was founded and currently provides services to about 1,200 Asian Americans a month at four different office locations. KCSC's headquarters are located in Annandale, VA and we have branch offices in Gaithersburg, Riverdale, and Silver Spring, MD.

The Sharing Love Campaign is presented by Korean Community Service Center of Greater Washington (KCSC) in partnership with The Korea Times and the Korean Church Association of Washington DC. All proceeds from this love-sharing campaign are used exclusively for emergency financial support for victims of crime or for community members who have suffered a financial setback as a result of illness or job loss. Please donate as generously as you are able so that we can continue to provide this crucial safety net to those in great need!
