🎓 Growing Leaders, Strengthening Care. 🫶🏽👏🏼
Congratulations to our incredible leaders at Hale Makua who recently graduated from a pilot leadership training program for Ohana Pacific Health
Leaders from Kahului, Wailuku, and Home Health by Ohana Pacific Health began this journey in October, diving into interactive sessions led by Kellie Chun (Where You Evolve) and OPH Director of Culture, Trevor Carpenter. Together, they built essential leadership skills like reflective listening, navigating conflict, influencing accountability, and leading change in the workplace.
Through meaningful discussions, hands-on activities, and real-world role-playing, our leaders strengthened the tools they use every day to support their teams and enhance the care we provide.
💬 “We really wanted to invest in our leadership because they have the greatest influence on our teams and the care we provide,” shared Wes Lo, CEO of OPH and Hale Makua. “Our hope is that their growth and success will positively impact the employees they manage and, ultimately, the people we serve.”
We’re proud to celebrate the graduates from Hale Makua Kahului and Wailuku, along with our Home Health by OPH leaders supporting the Maui team. (Home Health participants—your celebration is coming soon… stay tuned for photos! 📸)
