Aloha!
In 1975, four Native Hawaiians graduated
in the University of Hawaii's John A. Burns School of Medicine's
first graduating class. They
joined seven other Hawaiian physicians known to be in practice. Today,
we are aware of more than 225 Native Hawaiian physicians worldwide. Although
our numbers are growing, there is still a lot of work to do to
reverse the alarming health trends of the indigenous people in
Hawai'i.
'Ahahui o na Kauka was formed to give physicians
a forum for fellowship and involvement in initiatives and projects
to improve the health of Native Hawaiians.
