Community connections 2018 I Love Kailua Town Party Adventist Health Castle presented a Health and Wellness Fair at the annual I Love Kailua Town Party on April 29 in Kailua town. The I Love Kailua Town Party benefits the Lani- Kailua Outdoor Circle’s beautifica- tion projects and is the largest street fair on Windward O‘ahu. Castle’s Health and Wellness Fair included an “Ask A Doctor” booth and interactive educational booths featuring the medical center’s specialists and services. 72nd Kailua Independence Day Parade More than 60 associates and their fami- lies and friends were part of Castle’s entry in the 72nd Kailua Independence Day Parade. Castle’s float was themed around its 2017 Malcom Baldrige National Quality Award. The crowd es- pecially enjoyed the giveaways handed out by our parade volunteers. 2018 RIMPAC exercise On July 12, Castle participated in the biennial Rim of the Pacific exercise that most O‘ahu hospitals participate in. Hospitals receive “casualties” to practice military integration with civil organizations. Castle received a record 37 “casualties,” 25 arriving from Ford Island. Over the course of about 40 minutes, all the “injured” were brought to the hos- pital to overload the system and test our response. The setup was smooth, initial briefings were well-organized, and the strategies were cleanly executed. Castle received the most “casualties” in the state.
