Speaker - Brenda Ho

Fellow Rotarian and CEO of Hawaii Care Choices, Brenda Ho, spoke about Hawaii Care Choices, the history of the organization, programs and services offered including palliative care - support that can begin at diagnosis, continuing alongside treatment, hospice care - support that can begin when cure is beyond reach, and bereavement care - support for those in the grieving process for all in the community for free.  She also spoke of the organization's newest revitalized and repurposed endeavor, the Pōhai Mālama Care Home, which transferred from an inpatient service center last year to its current state as an Adult Residential Care Home or ARCH, offering a residential setting for the elderly who require some sort of 24-hour assistance.
