She was a vibrant individual, who always advocated for our EMS personnel. Although we are heartbroken at the loss of our longest standing medical director, the island mourns a community physician who dedicated her life to helping others. When we find out about any community or funeral services, we will notify the department. • The annual inspections for all primary and backup ambulances have been completed. The 2026 State of Hawaii Ambulance Service licenses will be distributed as soon as they are received. • The first County Council Resolution hearing regarding funding for the Makalei ambulance was held, bringing us another step closer to bringing this valuable resource into operation. • EMS Branch personnel assisted the Training Branch and HPD with a 3-day Active Shooter Training. • The Fall 2025 paramedic class has successfully completed the didactic portion of their training.
