A MESSAGE FROM THE HARDMAN FAMILY
Date: May 26, 2006
Scott Hardman and Shari Hardman Irwin, the children of John M. Hardman, MD, along with their families, and his wife Maggie, wish to offer a heartfelt mahalo to the JABSOM staff and faculty, students, and the Office of the Dean for their many kindnesses to us over the convocation weekend. Particular thanks go to Gail Gilbert (an angel among us), Roseanne Harrigan (ditto), and Deans Shomaker and Izutsu. Thank you Jean for opening his office to us. Thank you Dr. Antonelli and Hank Morrow for your contributions. We were made to feel like VIPs. We’re sure there were many contributions we were unaware of, and are unable to thank everyone individually. We feel certain that Dad was compiling his own list and only wish he’d had ti! me to e xpress his thanks himself.
To the JABSOM Class of 06 we also say mahalo. Our father’s greatest joy in life was teaching you. To be acknowledged by you in such a way with the Senior Gift and the outpouring of love and appreciation for him that many of you expressed to him individually, made his last days very fulfilling to him, and emphasized what his life’s work has been about. Several of you shared your thoughts and memories with us, and these insights into the man our father was will stay with us. Thank you Dr. “Andy” Lee, Dr. Jonathan Kitayama, and Dr. Amy Cowan for taking a moment in the midst of your own celebrations to speak to us.
Thank you all so much. With much Aloha,
The Hardman Family:

UH Med School looks to open free clinic

UH Medical School Looks To Open Free Clinic
Clinic Could Help Nearly 200 Homeless People Nearby
POSTED: 4:39 pm HST May 5, 2006
UPDATED: 5:10 pm HST May 5, 2006
HONOLULU -- Students at the University of Hawaii's medical school are trying to open a free medical clinic in Kakaako, just yards away from a new homeless shelter set up by the state.
Students at the UH Medical School said they had been working on a plan to help the homeless at Ala Moana Beach Park, where about 200 homeless were kicked out. They considered starting with tents and progressing to a mobile clinic to offer services to those in need across the community.
Noi Rellin is recovering from gallstone surgery in her van. It's a situation far from ideal.
Under a plan hatched by the UH Medical School, she could take advantage of a free clinic that is expected to get under way soon.
First-year medical students kicked off a bake sale on Friday. It is the start of a fundraiser for seed money to buy medical supplies. In turn, the students get credit for a required community care course.
"We were one of the first medical schools in the country to include this as a part of the medical school curriculum," UH Medical School Dean Sam Shomaker said.
The curriculum is called Project Home.
"So, you get not only get medical services, but also the opportunity to train medical students as they go through the years to provide homeless care," student Carrie Marshall said.
Once the clinic is up and running, the medical students won't have far to go because the emergency shelter is just a short walk away from the school. The plan calls for third- and fourth-year students to help staff the clinic.
Homeless families with whom KITV spoke with think the project is a good idea.
The medical students never thought the homeless would be brought even closer to their doorstep. Organizers plan a walk-through of the homeless shelter next week.
