Hawaiʻi Pacific Health Nurses Appear in Special Statewide Newspaper Sections
Published May 6, 2024
In honor of National Nurses Week, newspapers across the state of Hawaiʻi – to include the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, The Garden Island, West Hawaiʻi Today and Hawaiʻi Tribune-Herald – published special Nurses Week inserts in advance of the annual weeklong observance that is held May 6-12.
These commemorative inserts featured Hawaiʻi Pacific Health nurses from across the Hawaiʻi Pacific Health system, who speak to their personal reasons for entering the nursing professional. Each medical center is highlighted with an article, as well, to help provide added insight into the role nurses play in delivering quality care and exceptional service to our patients and community.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser includes stories on Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women & Children, Pali Momi Medical Center and Straub Benioff Medical Center and Straub Clinics on Oʻahu, and The Garden Island features an additional story on Wilcox Health.
Both editions also include honorary messages from Gov. Josh Green, MD, and Dennis Francis, president and publisher Oʻahu Publications Inc., along with an article profiling the history of National Nurses Week.
This year, National Nurses Week celebrates the theme “Nurses Make the Difference,” which honors the incredible nurses nationwide who embody the spirit of compassion and care in every health care setting. At Hawaiʻi Pacific Health, it is an opportunity to celebrate our nurses’ commitment and compassion for our mission to create a healthier Hawaiʻi.
