QNHCH reminds everyone to follow these tips for a safe Halloween:
Halloween Preparation
• Plan a Halloween party instead of trick-or-treating—or attend a community event
• Chose comfortable costumes and shoes that do not restrict movement
• Avoid dark-colored costumes
• Use make-up rather than a mask
• Make sure costumes are fire proof or treated with fire retardant
• Use reflective fabric or tape to improve visibility
Halloween Day
• Turn on exterior lights and remove objects that could cause tripping
• Avoid trick-or-treating alone – stay with an adult and in groups
• Remind kids to steer clear of strangers
• Start early in the evening and stay in your own neighborhood
• Carry a flashlight or a light stick and a cell phone
• Stay in well-lit areas
• Walk on sidewalks and cross at corners or lights; do not cross mid-block
• Avoid dark areas and houses
• Never enter a home without parental permission, even if in a group
• Inspect Halloween treats before letting kids eat them
• Eat only treats that are sealed and/or in original packaging
• If you see something suspicious, say something - call 911

After several years of planning, the QNHCH solar power project has kicked off. A solar field is being installed on QNHCH property at the south end of the hospital campus. This one-acre solar field is expected to produce over 1 million kwh per year, saving an estimated $170,000 annually, reducing the facility’s demand on the grid by 25%, and reducing the hospital’s carbon footprint. QNHCH has partnered with Tritium3, Hawai’i’s largest community solar developer, to install and maintain the system. A power purchase agreement will let QNHCH buy solar-produced power at a reduced rate.

The first phase of visible work started last week and includes the installation of landscaping surrounding the site, to be followed by new fencing. Trenching for the power line that will eventually connect the hospital to the solar field will begin in August. During the trenching phase, there will be traffic control measures in place as contractors dig between the main hospital (near the medical gas storage tanks) towards the helipad and beyond to the field. The Parker Ranch horses that have been grazing on the property will be moved off temporarily during construction, but it is expected that they will return once the solar field is complete. The project is estimated to be complete in October.
