Monthly Column – Community First

Let’s Fulfill Our Kuleana

As a community, like every other challenge we have faced on Hawaii Island, we must step up and do our part. Everyone has kuleana to keep our families and our community safe. Places where you can embrace your kuleana and take the lead include your ‘ohana, community organizations, worksites, churches, sports organizations, educational settings and social networks.

We continue to publish a monthly column regarding health, healthcare, social determinants, and our activities in the Hawaiʻi Tribune Herald. Daily circulation is at 17,000 subscribers and 3,500 online. Please click on titles to access the full article.
