At Mālama Ola, we’re deeply grateful for the privilege of caring for those who once served us. Last year, we cared for 148 veterans — each with their own story of courage and sacrifice. 🇺🇸 Through our We Honor Veterans program, we honor their service with gratitude and aloha.

Some recent photo highlights from our We Honor Veterans program:

🔹Honoring our veteran patients during individual ceremonies in coordination with military branch volunteers
🔹Paying tribute to the surviving crew members of the USS Missouri to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the End of World War II
🔹Celebrating veterans at Kāhala Nui with volunteers from Kaiser High School JROTC, Veterans of Foreign Wars VFW Rep. John Ichikawa, and Bugles Across America’s Steven Matsumoto
🔹Joining the Aloha Mustang & Shelby Club of Hawai’i (AMSCH) Rumble and sharing lunch with veterans in Kapolei
🔹Meeting with veterans at the Daniel K. Akaka VA Clinic during Hospice & Palliative Care Month

Mahalo for your kind words and trust, Sheena! We know how difficult it can be to navigate hospice care, and we’re truly honored that you chose Mālama Ola to support your family with compassion and aloha.

During National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, we honor the stories, families, and caregivers who remind us that hospice isn’t about giving up — it’s about giving comfort, dignity, and connection.

Myth 4: Spiritual counselors are Christian ministers.

Spiritual care provider Alice Nagano addresses some common misconceptions.

Another misconception! Our spiritual counselors are trained to meet the needs of all faith traditions. We also work with those who may not identify with a specific faith. It’s about finding meaning, comfort, and peace in whatever way resonates most for you.

Congratulations to Dr. Michael Duick! 🎉 We’re so proud to celebrate our co-founder and Executive Director, Dr. Duick, who has been named Executive Leader of the Year by the Healthcare Association of Hawai‘i (HAH).

Though he prefers to stay out of the limelight and focus on what he loves most – caring for patients and supporting families – Dr. Duick’s compassion, clinical excellence, and advocacy for dignity at the end of life have touched countless lives across Hawai‘i.

As a dedicated and humble leader, he continues to shape hospice and palliative care in our islands through his commitment to quality care and education. In addition to leading Mālama Ola, Dr. Duick serves as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Hawai‘i’s John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM), where he guides the next generation of physicians to lead with empathy, communication, and heart.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Duick on this well-deserved recognition!
