BECAUSE OF

YOU...

Dreams can come true
For some medically fragile patients at Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women & Children, the
dream of attending their school’s prom is not possible. Staff and volunteers came together with
generous vendors and companies from the community to create a full-scale version of prom
in the hospital, complete with deejay, picture taking, formal wear and more. Friends and family
joined patients in a safe setting for a fun and unforgettable experience.

Dr. Justin Young, Sports Medicine faculty at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, serves as a sports medicine physician
at the Straub Bone & Joint Center and a team physician for the UH Mānoa Athletics Department. Dr. Young is directly
involved with providing and coordinating care for student athletes through the UH JABSOM Primary Care Sports
Medicine Fellowship Program. Donors help to support Straub’s Bone & Joint Center.

Hawai‘i’s college athletes are ahead of the game
Hawai‘i Pacific Health has partnered with the University of Hawai‘i’s John A. Burns School
of Medicine (JABSOM) and Athletics Department to support the UH JABSOM Primary Care
Sports Medicine Fellowship Program.
Hawai‘i Pacific Health works with the University to improve health care services for its varsity
intercollegiate student-athletes by offering well-coordinated and comprehensive care across
the Hawai‘i Pacific Health system. The partnership also enables Hawai‘i Pacific Health to
support physician training and research in the field of sports medicine.
