Mission: Advancing Research, Education, Clinical Healing, & Community Support (R-E-C-C) Functions
Long-term Strategic Goal: Increase the financial reserves of JABSOM in 5 years by at least 10%. Note that JABSOM was well on the way of accomplishing this financial goal through the following endeavors, but Mānoa Campus fiscal challenges resulted in a $2M/year decrease in Mānoa Campus support on top of a $2.5M/year decrease in legislative support. Nonetheless, JABSOM has use the following tactics to maintain its fiscal strength.
- Growth of university practice plan with increasing clinical department support through practice plan.
- Aggressive grant submission and management to leverage federal dollars.
- Reduction in part-time faculty bridging support.
- Streamlining of administrative processing and retention of key administrative personnel.
- Collection of shared services support from UH Cancer Center.
- Development of commercial revenue streams that support the JABSOM mission (e.g., Waiola Café, CME, special event management).
- Aggressive philanthropic activities related to JABSOM alumni and larger ʻohana (e.g., 50th Anniversary ʻOhana, HOME Project, and ʻImi Hoʻōla fund-raisers).
- Extend partnerships with teaching hospital systems, Hawaiʻi Medical Association, and Hawaiʻi Medical Service Association.
- Greater use of image & video and strong media relationships to advance recognition of JABSOM in an era where the Mānoa Campus and its leadership have been under harsh critique.

- Recognition of the School was advanced via the following:
- Aggressive use of 50th anniversary as means to highlight the contributions of the JABSOM faculty and alumni to Hawaiʻi and build goodwill for philanthropic purposes (videos, history book, CME conferences, alumni gatherings, anniversary gala & media promotion)
- More direct responsibility for the GME enterprise was achieved by forging a new affiliation with the Hawaiʻi Residency Programs, Inc., and assignment of the DIO role to a JABSOM faculty leader
- The greater involvement of a JABSOM faculty leader as DIO has strengthened the GME training programs and helped address ACGME accreditation challenges
- Growth of the university practice plan has helped provide fiscal stability to JABSOM despite Mānoa Campus fiscal challenges and has helped raise the visibility of JABSOM in the clinical community
- Strengthening of the communications program (eNewsletter, blog, social media, webpage updates, and balanced visual and text media) has been vital for sharing the JABSOM story to internal and external audiences
