Mahalo to our dedicated teams and to the patients who trust us with their care. Together, we’re building a healthier Hawaiʻi. 🌺

🌿 National Therapeutic Recreation Week | July 6–12 🌿

This week, we’re celebrating the power of play with purpose. 💪🎨🎾

Therapeutic Recreation is more than just fun and games — it’s a healing tool that helps individuals with physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges regain independence, build confidence, and rediscover joy.

From art therapy and adaptive sports to nature walks and music sessions, Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists (CTRS) use recreational activities to improve quality of life and promote holistic well-being. 🙌

🎉 Join us in recognizing the incredible work of recreation therapists across the country and the difference they make in hospitals, rehab centers, senior communities, and beyond.
