Karen Knudsen: Ka ʻUmeke Lama Initiative to Transform Cancer Care and Reduce Health Disparities in Hawai’i and the Pacific
Karen Knudsen, Executive Strategic Advisor and Immediate Past CEO of the American Cancer Society (ACS), shared on LinkedIn:
“I couldn’t be more proud of the NCI-designated University of Hawai’i Cancer Center (UHCC) for their commitment to groundbreaking cancer research and ability to convert cancer discoveries into real-world impact. As a long standing member of the External Advisory Board, it’s clear that UHCC’s work has reduced the burden of cancer across Hawai‘i and the Pacific Islands.
Through their new initiative Ka ‘Umeke Lama (Hawaiian for ‘Bowl of Enlightenment’), UHCC is poised to transform cancer care even further—advancing prevention, early detection, and treatment to improve outcomes for communities across the region. Way to go, UHCC Director Dr. Naoto Ueno and team!”
