     WHEREAS, the Healthcare Association of Hawai‘i, an organization created in 1939 which represents 160 care-provider organizations within the state, decided to provide a vehicle for patients to recognize healthcare professionals who have had profound impacts on the lives of these patients and their families; and

 

     WHEREAS, in 2015, five healthcare professionals were selected from a large field of nominees for this recognition as representing the types of individuals who routinely provide a quality of care that goes above and beyond; and

 

     WHEREAS, Kathy Krammer, MS, CCC-SLP, RN, a Senior Speech, Language, Swallowing Pathologist at the Queen's Medical Center, Outpatient Rehabilitation program, is a co-founder of a head and neck cancer support group as well as a group facilitator; and

 

     WHEREAS, Grace Porras, a licensed practical nurse at Maunalani Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, worked several years as an emergency nurse, and has supported patients for over 22 years; and

 

     WHEREAS, Jim Stremick, MPT, a Physical Therapist at Prime Care Services Hawai‘i, Inc, has helped to rehabilitate seriously injured patients for over 15 years; and

     WHEREAS, Warren Tamamoto, MD, the Chief of Pulmonology at Kaiser Permanente Hawai‘i's Moanalua Medical Center, has treated patients suffering from lung diseases for over 35 years; and

 

     WHEREAS, Juliette Zelda, MD, a surgeon at Wilcox Memorial Hospital, specializes in laparoscopic and colorectal surgery, and has served as trauma medical director; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-eighth Legislature of the State of Hawai‘i, Regular Session of 2016, that this body recognizes these five outstanding individuals who treat their patients with a level of compassion and care that far exceeds expectations and extends to them its warmest aloha and best wishes for continued success.
