Kaiser reaches out with ‘Day of Service’ (Jan. 16)

MEDIA RELEASE

Kaiser Permanente physicians and staff members are partnering with Hawaii Island School Garden Network volunteering their time working in sustainable gardens at Waimea Middle and Kahakai Elementary Schools, and at Hilo High School sprucing up the campus to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service.

This volunteer effort is part of several community initiatives being initiated by more than 500 Kaiser Permanente physicians, staff members and other volunteers on the Big Island, Maui and Oahu.

WHO: KAISER PERMANENTE HAWAII
WHEN: 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Monday, Jan. 16
WHERE:
* Waimea Middle School, 67-1229 Mamalahoa Hwy, Waimea
* Kahakai Elementary School, 76-147 Royal Poinciana Drive, Kailua-Kona
* Waiakea High School, 155 West Kawili St., Hilo

NOTES:

Eight years ago, in honor and recognition of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his advancement of civil and human rights, Kaiser Permanente established an annual day of service that takes place on Martin Luther King Day.

This approach to celebrating Dr. King’s life has enabled thousands of Kaiser Permanente employees and physicians to provide valuable services to our communities and to further advance the Kaiser Permanente legacy that parallels Dr. King’s values.

Rather than taking a holiday on that day, Kaiser Permanente employees and physicians take part in a “day on” of volunteering dedicated to the memory of Dr. King.
