Hep Free Hawaiʻi and partners hosted the annual Hawaiʻi Liver Summit this month, bringing together over a hundred participants including medical providers, public health leaders, researchers, and community advocates who are working to eliminate viral hepatitis in Hawaiʻi. The summit has quickly become an important space for learning, collaboration, and strengthening access to care for communities that face the highest barriers.
This year, H3RC was proud to celebrate a significant moment for our team. Dr. Christina Wang, H3RC’s Medical Director, received the Naoky Tsai Wayfinder Award, which honors a local healthcare provider whose work reflects excellence in care, leadership in education, and a commitment to harm reduction. The award is named for Dr. Naoky Tsai, a trailblazer in hepatology whose decades of service continue to shape the way hepatitis care is delivered in Hawaiʻi.
Dr. Wang was recognized for her dedication to improving health outcomes for people who often experience stigma, chronic disease, and limited access to care. Her leadership has strengthened screening and treatment pathways across the state, and her compassion and humility continue to inspire providers and community partners alike.
This year’s summit brought together clinicians, researchers, and community health workers to share tools and best practices, explore strategies for culturally grounded outreach, and discuss the policy changes needed to move Hawaiʻi closer to hepatitis elimination. The gathering highlighted the power of collaboration and the importance of centering communities who are most impacted.
H3RC congratulates Dr. Wang on this well-deserved honor and expresses appreciation to Hep Free Hawaiʻi and partners for hosting another impactful event focused on liver health equity.
It’s encouraging to see the Hawaiʻi Liver Summit pulling together providers, researchers, and community advocates like this. The Wayfinder Award feels especially fitting for someone helping guide the push to eliminate viral hepatitis, kind of like a real-world mega man x regenesis moment where everyone’s working toward the same kind of renewal.
What an inspiring event and a well-deserved recognition for Dr. Wang. It’s great to see leaders who focus on harm reduction and breaking down barriers to care getting this kind of acknowledgment. The summit’s emphasis on culturally grounded outreach really resonates—meeting people where they are makes all the difference in any field. On a lighter note, that idea of turning a vision into something tangible reminds me of a creative tool I’ve been exploring. It’s a Roblox Game Generator that lets you describe a game concept in plain language and instantly get a playable prototype. It’s been a fun way to experiment with interactive design without needing to code, which feels a bit like how community health work thrives when you…

あの賞、確かに素晴らしいけど、肝臓サミットに「100人以上」って数字、ハワイの医療関係者からするとちょっと少なくない？もっと現場の声が集まらないと難しい気がするな。単語数調整に使えるよ：英単語数カウント
