When the Maui wildfires showed how quickly an emergency can unfold, one thing became clear: Hawai‘i needed more burn care training.

Straub Benioff Medical Center’s Burn Care Unit responded by expanding its Advanced Burn Life Support program to monthly classes, making it the only provider of this training in Hawai‘i. These sessions help physicians, nurses and first responders build the skills needed to care for burn patients in the first 24 to 48 hours, a period that can greatly influence recovery. The training has been especially valuable for neighbor island teams who often deliver the initial care before patients are transferred to O‘ahu.

Straub Benioff Medical Center’s Burn Care Unit expands its burn education program to meet growing demand from the community.

"Since joining our ENT department, Mary Jane (MJ) consistently demonstrates a very strong work ethic and willingness to go above and beyond in all aspects of her role. She has taken additional responsibilities without hesitation and no complaints. Everything is done graciously and always exceeding expectations. No task is too big or too small, whether it is stepping in during busy clinic days, helping her clinical or administration colleagues. MJ's willingness to help and take on every task is always done professionally and with enthusiasm. It is rare to encounter an employee who quickly becomes an essential part of the team, but MJ has done exactly that.

"Cat has been with Straub Benioff Medical Center for more than 10 years now, and every year she continues to volunteer at SBMC/HPH community events. At these events she will often take the lead, which entails recruiting other volunteers and organizing the educational content. Cat embodies Hawaii Pacific Health's mission by providing attendees education on tips to stay healthy.

“You may have even seen her on TV, as she teamed up with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jae You on Hawaii Pacific Health’s Time Out for Health videos. For these efforts, Cat would be a deserving candidate for her community stewardship."
