Signature Touch
Kapi‘olani’s Auditorium Seats
THE C A RING EMPL OYEES of Kapi‘olani Medical Center for
Women & Children leave their marks on the medical center and its
patients every day. Recently, they were given an opportunity to leave
a lasting legacy. Staff members were invited to name a chair in
Kapi‘olani’s new Nan Inc. Auditorium. On April 18, Kapi‘olani
unveiled more than 150 plaques, funded by personal contributions
to the 2016 Employee Giving Campaign. Each was engraved with a
special sentiment to recognize a child born at Kapi‘olani, honor
a family or to celebrate an employee’s years of service at the
medical center. These chairs will stand as a tribute to our dedicated
“My husband and I donated a chair as a
thank you to Kapi‘olani. I see the diffe-
rence we make every day, and I feel lucky
to work in a facility and with a staff as
great as Kapi‘olani’s.”

“My donation for the chair is to honor
my son Sgt. Drew Scobie who we lost
to the war in Afghanistan in 2014. Drew
was very proud of me working here at
Kapi‘olani. Hopefully, in the future one
of my grandchildren may work here
and they will always have his chair as
a memorial.”

CLINICAL SERVICE LINE MANAGER
“I am so proud to work at Kapi‘olani and being a mother of
three young children, this is the only place that they have
and will receive treatment. I felt that having our name so-
mewhere would make my kids feel special and part of the
Diamond Head Tower project.”
KARIN SHINKAWA, RN, CLINICAL SUPERVISOR
“I chose to donate a chair in hopes that it can
give children and their families many good
days and inspire others to do the same.”
