Pu‘ulu Lapa‘au: Healing the Healer
The mission of Puʻulu Lapaʻau, the Hawaiʻi Program for Healthcare Professionals, is to promote patient safety and care by improving the health, well-being and effectiveness of healthcare professionals. We achieve this by offering confidential support and advocacy to healthcare professionals with potential conditions including substance use disorders, mental or physical illness, work-life imbalance and behavioral concerns. We also help determine fitness to practice and practice re-entry.
There are many reasons a healthcare provider may not function at their full potential. They may include work-life imbalance but can also include serious conditions, such as mental and/or physical health issues and substance use disorder. Our goal is to aid our colleagues by providing a path for wellness and professional success. A healthy provider is our best resource for the care of Hawai‘i's community!
