Hawaii Healthcare Heroes
Have you encountered a very special Hawaii healthcare worker when you or a loved one were a patient? Say thank you by nominating that healthcare professional as a Hawaii Healthcare Hero.
Each year, HAH asks Hawaii’s patients to nominate the Hawaii Healthcare Heroes who made lives better, or even saved them. Five Hawaii Healthcare Heroes are chosen and honored at the annual HAH Awards and Scholarship Gala, to be held this year on Oct. 25, 2025.
Tell us your story and help us recognize your Hawaii Healthcare Hero.
What is a Hawaii Healthcare Hero? Someone working at a local healthcare organization who provided extraordinary care for you or a loved one in a way that you will always remember. That healthcare worker could be:
The emergency responder when you or a family member needed immediate medical attention.
The healthcare professional who brought a new life into the world or saved a life from ending, or who coordinated years of good primary care.
The therapist who assisted you or a loved one with occupational, physical or speech therapy, or who helped you maintain good mental health.
The hospice worker, nurse aide or doctor who helped your `ohana prepare for a loved one’s end of life.
Someone outside a healthcare organization, such as pharmacist, nutritionist, or transport worker who helped care for you.
