Among those who were able to assist in the aftermath of the Lahaina wildfires were JABSOM c/o 2025 students, Joshua Kepler and Ashley Lee. Both were in their third-year longitudinal clerkship rotations when they were compelled to provide medical care to survivors of the fire. Now in their final year of medical school, Joshua and Ashley reflected on their experiences with KITV 4. Watch here: https://ow.ly/Frvo50STi8U

Happy Earth Day!

‘Ahahui o nā Kauka recently organized a huaka‘i to Kanaloa Kaho‘olawe to immerse its members and colleagues into the soul and spirit of the island.  The island’s history of assault, resistance and recovery was the perfect venue for continuing medical education conference around *Climate, Trauma, Healing.* The greening of the island inspired hope and restoration for the health and healing professionals. We know that to heal ourselves, we must have a connection with the ‘āina and care for it to the best of our ability. Physically and spiritually, we are learning and living the legacy of co-founder Dr. Noa Emmett Aluli, Healing an Island, Healing a People, Healing a Lāhui.

Ashley Mainani Lee, Native Hawaiian MS3 and former Ka Lama Kukui President was in Maui for her longitudinal clerkships when the devastating fires affected Lahaina. She has been with her preceptors daily at the different shelters providing medical care. Kauka of all specialties are stepping up to staff these areas, sometimes even after their long clinic days. One pediatrician said this has been the first time they touched an adult patient in 20 years. In addition to wound care, there are a lot of routine needs being fulfilled as people left without their medications. All of the kauka are yearning to get out to Lahaina where their patients are, but there are still some limitations in place.

Ashley's Maui ʻohana is from Keʻanae and Kahului. Although her relatives are mostly in town and on the east side, her cousin Casey was living in Lahaina. There, he lost his home and left with just his car, laptop and the clothes he had on. She says she's grateful to be there to help and seeing the community come together gives hope to the resilient survivors.

He ʻaʻaliʻi kū makani mai au; ʻaʻohe makani nāna e kūlaʻi, I am a wind-resisting ʻaʻaliʻi plant; no gust can push me over (ʻŌlelo Noʻeau #507)
