INSIGHTS ON PBS HAWAI‘I

Navigating the Challenges of the Pandemic, A Year Later

Get a COVID-19 vaccine. Wear a mask. Stay at least 6 feet apart. Avoid crowds. Wash your hands. These are messages we have heard over the past year as we've had to battle and navigate COVID-19 across the country and here in our state. What more can we do? Will a COVID-19 vaccine help? When will I be able to get one? What are the side effects? What's happening in our hospitals? Join us for a conversation with administrators at Hawaiʻi hospitals, and get the answers to the questions that you have.

Health care systems around the country have been overwhelmed by surges of positive COVID-19 cases in a nearly yearlong battle. Hawaiʻi’s hospitals have been leaders in the fight against the disease, even as our state saw spikes of positive cases last summer and following the recent holiday season. With mass vaccination efforts underway, INSIGHTS ON PBS HAWAIʻI hosts a COVID-19 Hospital Check-up. Top administrators at Hawaiʻi hospitals will discuss how they are navigating the challenges of the pandemic.

Scheduled guests include: Sam Balukoff of Kaiser Moanalua Medical Center; Ryan Ashlock of Adventist Health Castle; Dr. Rick Bruno of The Queen’s Health Systems; and Martha Smith of Hawaiʻi Pacific Health, Oʻahu.
