Hawaii Pacific Health Launches First Academic Health Center in the Nation to Offer Hands-On Healthcare Experience for Students

Hawaii Pacific Health recently held a blessing ceremony for the new academic health center at Waipahu High School in Honolulu. The center is the first of its kind in the nation and offers students hands-on experience in healthcare by working alongside and shadowing medical professionals. Dr. Leslie Chun, CEO of Hawaii Pacific Health Medical Group, spoke about the unique aspects of the academic center and the inspiration behind this innovative initiative.

According to Dr. Chun, the center was created with the goal of providing students with valuable learning experiences that will contribute to their future success in the healthcare field. The center offers a variety of programs and services that are designed to help students gain practical knowledge and skills that they can use to improve their health and well-being.

The center also offers opportunities for students to work closely with medical professionals, giving them an inside look at what it takes to be successful in the healthcare field. This hands-on experience is essential for anyone looking to pursue a career in medicine or healthcare.

Hawaii Pacific Health hopes that the new academic health center will inspire other schools across the country to create similar programs. By providing students with valuable learning experiences and practical skills, we can help ensure that future generations of healthcare professionals are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their careers.
