Health Summit 2022: Creating a Healthy Workforce Through Housing presented by Dentons US LLP and Kaiser Permanente Hawaii

ONLINE REGRISTRATION IS CLOSED. Please email tfetui@cochawaii.org to receive a zoom link to attend.

The Chamber, in partnership with Dentons US LLP and Kaiser Permanente Hawaii, invite you to hear from industry-leading speakers on the housing crisis in Hawaii at the Health Summit webinar Creating a Healthy Workforce Through Housing on Wednesday, June 15 at 10:00 AM. 

Hawaii's housing instability impacts our entire community, including employers, healthcare providers and the workforce. From not being able to retain workforce due to the high cost of housing, to not being able to recruit top talent due to the lack of housing options, to low workforce productivity and individual health concerns due to the stress of trying to afford to live in Hawaii, health and housing issues are inter-related. 

Featured thought leaders will discuss reducing the housing instability and potential solutions:

• Housing & Healthcare: Hilton R. Raethel, MPH, MHA, President & Chief Executive Officer, Healthcare Association of Hawaii

• Removing Financial Barriers to Owning a Home: Bob Harrison, Chairman, President & CEO, First Hawaiian Bank

• Innovative Supply Solutions: Christine Camp, President & CEO, Avalon Group

• Legislature 2022 Housing Bills: Representative Ryan Yamane

• Moderated by: David Tumilowicz, Senior Director, Kaiser Permanente Hawaii
