Hawaiʻi Liver Summit: Dr. Christina Wang Receives the Naoky Tsai Wayfinder Award
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.
This is a helpful topic for anyone trying to improve their understanding of wireless networking. A resource covering 10.0 0.1 can help users learn more about router access, configuration steps, and common settings that may be useful when managing a network.
It’s meaningful to see people recognized for their contributions to liver health and the wider Hawaiʻi community. For longer event updates and reports, I sometimes use an HTML reader to listen while catching up.
It's really encouraging to see Dr. Wang get this recognition—the focus on harm reduction and reducing stigma is exactly what makes a difference for people who've been burned by the system before. The Naoky Tsai Wayfinder Award feels like the right name for someone guiding others through such difficult terrain. Speaking of things that don't get the credit they deserve, I've been messing around with making a low quality image on purpose for a project, and it's funny how much work goes into something that looks effortless. Anyway, congrats to Dr. Wang and the whole H3RC team.
I play this game every single day and I never get tired of it. The waves feel different each time I start a new run. Sometimes I just play to relax and clear my mind. Wave Rider is my daily escape from stress.
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.
