Rep. Scott Saiki, 2024 Achievement in Advocacy Awardee

The Healthcare Association of Hawaii has conferred its 2024 Achievement in Advocacy Award on House Speaker Scott Saiki.

Speaker Saiki has been a steady champion for ensuring that all Hawai`i residents have access to critical services, including preventive care. He was a leader in bringing together public and private resources to stand up COVID-19 vaccination sites throughout the state, ensuring that vulnerable residents could be protected as soon as possible. The speaker has also supported innovative programs to grow our healthcare workforce. In the years between 2019 and 2022, the number of vacant patient-facing, non-physician jobs nearly doubled.

2022 Healthcare Workforce Initiative Report

The state’s need for healthcare professionals has grown 76 percent – from 2,200 job openings in 2019 to 3,873 openings today – according to a new report by HAH and the Healthcare Workforce Initiative (HWI). The need, exacerbated in part by the pandemic, puts increased pressure on employers to recruit, train, and retain qualified employees, while also opening new job opportunities for current and prospective healthcare employees.

To the People of Hawai`i: We are in this Together

Hawai’i is experiencing an unprecedented disastrous surge of COVID-19 throughout the state. We need our healthcare system able to care for people in Hawai’i who are sick—whether it be from COVID, trauma, stroke, heart attack, cancer or other problem.

Please get vaccinated. Everyone, wear a mask, maintain physical distances, clean your hands, and stay home when you are sick or have any symptoms.
