BOH Mike Lyons Award Received for Luana Video

Bank of Hawaii has named four Maui County nonprofits as recipients of this year's Bank of Hawaii Mike Lyons Maui Community Award. The total donation of $20,000 was equally shared among Fun Day Foundation, a Keiki's Dream; Hale Makua Health Services; Maui County Salvation Army; and Maui Economic Concerns of the Community.

Our CEO, Tony Krieg, stated: "Hale Makua Health Services is very fortunate to be a recipient of the Mike Lyons Community Service Award, and is grateful for Bank of Hawaii's continued support of our organization and Maui's community. This grant will tremendously help our efforts in educating future employees, residents, their families and the community about the principles of the Eden Alternative, the foundation of our Luana (to live in comfort and ease) initiative. Through Luana, staff are learning to move away from the traditional, medical model of care to a resident-directed model of care where residents make choices about their daily activities themselves, and the environment in which they live in is more like a home, not an institution."
