Spiritual care is about supporting the whole person and honoring what brings comfort, meaning, and peace during life’s most challenging moments. Our spiritual counselors provide a safe space for individuals and their ʻohana to express their feelings, ask difficult questions, reflect on what matters most, and find strength in their own values and beliefs. Whether that support comes through conversation, reflection, cultural practices, or simply being present, our goal is to walk alongside you with care and understanding.

Danielle is a Spiritual Care Provider with Mālama Ola, working closely with hospice patients.

“I’m there to pour into them,” she says, “and they pour into me with their treasures and their stories.”

After moving from the Bay Area to O’ahu, Danielle began volunteering with Mālama Ola, intent on partnering with a local organization aligned with her values. Her path was shaped by the loss of her dad. That experience led her to train as a death doula and grief counselor, deepening her understanding of end-of-life care.

Hired on as a Spiritual Care Provider soon after, Danielle still remembers her first patient. Sitting at her bedside and keeping her company, Danielle painted portraits of each one of her many cats over the two months they shared. 🎨🐱

Inspired by a colleague Danny who used music in patient care, Danielle also learned to play the ukulele for her patients. 🎶 Though she was reserved at first, she soon saw how deeply music could comfort and connect patients, especially those with dementia. Some of her most requested songs are “You Are My Sunshine” and “What A Wonderful World.” This year, she would like to learn “White Sandy Beach” and songs by Bruno Mars – popular requests from her patients! 🌴🎵

“I love being with patients,” Danielle says. “I didn’t know I could do this work without a religion or through music. The most important thing is showing up.”

Outside of work, Danielle refills her cup through line dancing, Muay Thai, and spending time working in the lo'i patch on weekends—activities that help her stay grounded and present. When asked what guides her, she answers simply: she looks to her ancestors for guidance on how to show up fully each day.

Danielle’s compassion and presence bring comfort, joy, and connection to every patient she meets. We’re so grateful she’s part of our Mālama Ola ʻohana! 💫

We are deeply honored and incredibly grateful to partner with CVMA Chapter 8-1 Hawaii. Two years ago, they stepped forward to help us honor an Army veteran patient — and they haven’t stopped since! Again and again, they show up with heart and unwavering support at our We Honor Veterans recognition ceremonies. CVMA brings their compassion, camaraderie, and powerful sense of community.

Recently, we had the privilege of honoring Vietnam Army veteran David Wong CPL(T) alongside CVMA Hawaii.

“It’s such a tremendous thing to see the support from veterans and current military to honor what my uncle has done in the past. You can see on his face that it made his day,” shared his nephew.

Mahalo nui loa to The Plaza Assisted Living – Moanalua and Veterans of Foreign Wars VFW Post 1540 for their continued support, to CVMA member John “Goose” Guzman for creating this beautiful video and capturing the true spirit of service and aloha, and to Brenda Ryan, Mālama Ola’s We Honor Veterans Coordinator. Your dedication makes moments like this possible. 🇺🇸✨

Mahalo to Barbara for sharing your kind words. Our mission is rooted in empathy, presence, and comfort for those we serve. Walking alongside patients and their loved ones is a true privilege.

Mālama Ola is proud of our team of licensed clinical social workers who walk alongside patients and their families throughout the hospice journey. They create a safe, supportive space where each person feels heard, respected, and deeply cared for.

Beyond emotional support, they offer guidance and education to help patients and families manage stress, understand what to expect, communicate openly, and navigate the changes that come with serious illness, including grief and loss.

Our social workers also assist with advance care planning, connect families to community resources, and make referrals for additional services when needed. We ensure no one has to navigate this journey alone.

01/08/2026

As we welcome 2026, we honor every life, every story, and every moment shared. Thank you to our patients, families, caregivers, and supporters for trusting us to walk beside you with compassion and dignity.

May this year bring peace and comfort. Happy New Year from all of us at Mālama Ola. Hauʻoli Makahiki Hou! 🌟

✨✨✨ Mālama Ola Health Services' We Honor Veterans participated in the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade in Waikiki this past weekend! We rode with our dedicated volunteers - the Aloha Mustang and Shelby Club of Hawaii - who help honor our veteran patients throughout the year. At the parade, we remembered the legacy and sacrifice of our patients who heroically served during WWII and uplift their families. 🇺🇸

Special mahalo to Battery Bills for the glow up! Thanks to his generous donation, our vehicle shone bright for our veterans with over 5,000 lights! ✨✨✨
