HONORING THE RECIPIENTS OF THE 2024 HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATION OF HAWAII HEALTHCARE HEROES AWARD.

This House Resolution (HR 214) honors five healthcare professionals recognized by the Healthcare Association of Hawaii for exceptional patient care: Trevor Fujisaka (mobile emergency specialist), Dr. Darryl Glaser (pediatric oncologist), Renee Kojima (home infusion nurse), Karen Oskins (OB nurse), and Sarah Kahelelani Hatsue Kuma (nurse). It specifically recognizes their life-saving actions, such as Fujisaka reviving a student after cardiac arrest, Glaser managing a child’s rare blood disorder, and Kuma providing critical care during a patient’s medical emergencies. The resolution has no policy changes - it solely commends these individuals for their community impact as selected by patients. It directly affects only the named recipients, not broader populations or systems.
