The 2023 Native Hawaiian Health and Well Being Summit, AHA HOOLOKAHI, attracted more than 600 attendees from across the nation to the University of Â鶹´«Ã½–West<\/span> Oʻahu<\/span><\/a> in June.<\/p>\n

The goal of the summit was to shine the light on ola (health), life and its many elements. Healers and cultural practitioners discussed issues of preservation, protection and perpetuation of traditional Hawaiian healing practices.<\/p>\n
