Late Friday afternoon, the Women's Care Clinic in Danville marked 30 years of service to the community with an open house at their 1509 North Bowman location.  As advisor and advocate Annie Dykstra explained to Laura Williams on 1490 WDAN's Community Connection program; the Women's Care Clinic actually began in a garage, moved to a location on Williams, and now they have their location on North Bowman, at the other end of the new Goodwill building. Any woman or young lady who is pregnant can participate in the program up until their child is a year old.  And yes, they have a Dad's Program too.  It's a matter of giving those who are expecting guidance, education, and most importantly, a community and family.  A big part of it, Dykstra says, is their Bridges Program. https:/...

Remembering a Brilliant Scholar and a Special Mentor and Friend Karleen Chinen Commentary, Special to The Hawai'i Herald   "If you don't control your own culture and your own vision of life, and your own participation in life, then you don't control anything. And that's what we're about. The true spirit of any kind of democracy is to have people be autonomous at the same time that they know that they're dependent on the community around them." — Dr. Franklin Odo on empowering people and communities from a 1990 oral history interview with the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa Center for Oral History. Franklin Odo: scholar. Teacher. Mentor. Friend.(Photo from The Hawai'i Herald archives) Franklin Odo was never my professor at the University of Hawai'i, but he was the sensei , the teacher, who I always turned to with questions about Japanese American, Okinawan and Asian Pacific American history and its impact on...

A core function of infectious disease doctors — often abbreviated as "ID" in medical circles — is to diagnose and guide treatment (and, sometimes, prevention) of a variety of conditions ranging from pneumonia to bone infections to HIV to malaria. That requires a lot of highly cognitive work, including taking notoriously detailed histories and, yes, conducting notoriously thorough reviews of medical records. That kind of work takes a lot of time. Most ID doctors have completed not only the three years of internal medicine residency training most hospitalists have done, but also an additional two to three years of specialty ID fellowship training. Fortunately, it also pays less than many other medical professions...
