A Heritage of Native Voices
Native Voices on
Health and Illness
“This exhibition honors the native
tradition of oral history and establishes a unique collection of information,”
said Donald A.B. Lindberg, MD, director of the National Library of Medicine.
“We hope visitors will find Native Voices educational and inspirational, and
we hope Native people will view it with
pride.” A traveling exhibition created by
the National Library of Medicine and
the National Institutes of Health, “Native Voices: Native Peoples’ Concepts of
Health and Illness” opens in Hawai‘i on
Heritage Day in the Queen’s Historical
Room next to the Nalani information
desk. The interactive exhibit explores
the connection between wellness, illness, and cultural life through a combination of interviews with Native people,
artwork, objects, and interactive media.
The exhibit first opened in Washington, DC, in 2011 after four years of extensive interviews and research, and
recently began touring the country. The
traveling version is a smaller show, but
contains all of the video interviews presented on iPads for ease of transport.
Visitors will hear native voices speak
“The voices of the
King and Queen are
heeded every day at
The Queen’s Medical
Center. It is their vision
and voice that gives
rise to everything we
do,” explained Diane
Paloma, PhD, Director
of QHS Native Hawaiian Health. Heritage
Day 2014, will be celebrated on Friday,
July 18, and is using the theme Nā Leo
‘Ōiwi, Native Voices, to reinforce this
concept and to unveil Native Voices, a
traveling exhibit from the National Library of Medicine (see sidebar story).
Heritage Day begins at Mauna ‘Ala,
the Royal Mausoleum in Nu‘uanu, with
a dedication ceremony at 9:00 am. The
ceremony starts in the chapel that was
designed by architect Theodore Heuck,
who also designed the original Queen’s
Hospital building. Initially a stone mau-
soleum containing the royal remains, the
structure was converted into a koa-lined
chapel by Queen Liliu‘okalani, who had
the caskets interred in separate tombs

of the responsibilities of the individual, the interconnectedness of the communities, and reverence for nature,
tradition and the Great Spirit, as well
as the challenges and opportunities of
balancing traditional medicine with
Western medicine. The exhibit demonstrates how revival and pride in native
ideas among a new generation can help
sustain them in the 21st century.
Local highlights include Kalaupapa:
From Harsh Exile to Healing Community; Hokule‘a: Hawai‘i and the Voyaging Canoe; Native Hawaiian Sports: At
Sea and on Land; Duke Kahanamoku;
and the Wai‘anae Coast Comprehensive Health Center.
Historical room hours are: Mondays
through Fridays from 9:00 am to 3:00
pm. The closing date of the exhibit has
not been confirmed, but it will be here
for at least two months and will then
travel to other locations in Honolulu.
Efforts are being made to extend the
tour to select neighbor islands. Can’t
get to the Historical Room? Tune in
to in-house TV channel 2 for a special
presentation about the exhibit.
Employee Shuttle
Makes Off Campus
Parking Manageable
As Queen’s expands and finds parking solutions for its employees, some
creative solutions have arisen. The
first was parking at the Neal Blaisdell Center. Most recently, parking has
been made available at St. Francis Liliha. To prevent employees from having
to take the city bus to the Punchbowl
campus, a free shuttle system was developed. Managed by the Department
of Security and Safety Services, the
employee shuttle is fast, efficient, and
available to take staff to their vehicles
at any hour of the day.
However, to accommodate all park-

The chapel is only open to the public on
special occasions such as Heritage Day.
Ho‘okupu will be presented at the Kamehameha tomb for the ceremony’s completion. A complimentary shuttle bus will
transport Queen’s ‘ohana to and from the
site. Call Jeannine Johnson at 691-7261
to see if there are seats still available.
Back on campus, the opening ceremony will be held on the front lawn beneath
the kapok tree at 11:00 am. Immediately
following the ceremony, entertainment
kicks off in the E.E. Black Garden with
the Women’s Health Center’s hula class
haumana under the direction of Kumu
Kawai Fujita. Taking the stage as the
headline act will be Ka Momi (The Pearl),
a group that specializes in Hawaiian falsetto. They are best known as the “house

Please note that two shuttles have
been assigned to St. Francis due to the
higher number of parkers. The two
shuttles allow for a set schedule, which
is convenient for parkers, but which
also must be followed. To be fair to
those who depend on the set schedule,
the shuttle driver must depart at set
times and is not permitted to leave
early, even if two shuttles may be there
at the same time. Parkers should plan
their arrival at St. Francis with the
shuttle schedule in mind.
The shuttle system for Neal Blaisdell
Center parking is as follows:

along the dining room walkway with
sales hours slated for 10:00 am to 2:00
pm. Any remaining T-shirts will be available for purchase under the crafters’ tent.
Strolling musicians will visit patient
floors from noon to 2:00 pm on the main
campus as well as at QMC – West O‘ahu.
Sharing their aloha with all, keiki
from Royal Elementary School have
sent hand made get well cards that
will be distributed on patient trays
throughout the day’s meal service.
Celebrating 2nd Round of DAISY Awardees
If the scent of Cinnabons® fills
the air and daisy bouquets abound,
it can mean only one thing: it’s time
for another round of DAISY Awards at
Queen’s. DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System.
The DAISY Foundation was formed in
1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes
in acknowledgment of the “skillful and
amazingly compassionate care he received from his nurses—even when he
was totally sedated.” Upon his death,
the family chose to extend their profound gratitude to nurses everywhere
and established a foundation and created the DAISY Award to recognize
excellent nursing care throughout the
world. Cinnabons, a beloved treat of
J. Patrick Barnes, are provided at each
DAISY presentation as a personal nod
to his memory. The DAISY winners for
this quarter are:
Joyce Ito, RN, QET 7 DH
Joyce Ito’s nomination represents the
true spirit of the DAISY Award, as it
comes from a patient’s wife. She said,
“Joyce is what every nurse should be:
that light that shines even when it’s
dark. My husband has battled with
many setbacks and Joyce helps us understand what’s happening to him
and is so helpful with communication
breakdowns between us and our doctor. She laughs and cries alongside us,

Blaine Sanchez, RN QET 6
Blaine’s nomination comes directly
from a patient. She praised him for invoking the spirit of aloha. “I felt his love
and devotion, and so did my husband. It
was obvious that other nurses on staff
learned from him and they extended
their own aloha to us as well. We cannot
express our appreciation adequately.”
Michelle Sato, RN, MICU, QET 7 DH
Michelle’s nominators say she is an
awesome and very talented nurse.
Comments from a patient and his wife
said, “Michelle has a compassionate
heart. She became like a daughter to
us. She helped us realize the bigger
picture and educated me to the point
of inspiring me to want to go back into
the medical field (if we make it out of
the ICU). She is truly a blessing.”
Nominations at Queen’s are accepted

nursing units each quarter. The fourth
quarter’s eligible areas are: Pauahi 4, 6
