Hawai‘i Medical Journal Invite
Dear HPHA members and friends,
The Hawai‘i Medical Journal is a 68-year old monthly
publication about healthcare in Hawai‘i and the Pacific. Dr. Kalani Brady, who
has been Editor for the past 3-1/2 years, is joined by Dr. Norm Goldstein,
Editor Emeritus, Dr. Alan Tice, Associate Editor, and a small editorial staff
to bring to you a stimulating compilation of articles of critical relevance and
importance to the health field of the Hawai‘i-Pacific region.
While many Journal articles have been contributed by the
faculty at John A. Burns School of Medicine at University of Hawai‘i over the
years, the publication looks forward to expanding its role to encompass a
broader range of input from health professionals, especially with the
challenges we face for healthcare reform and teamwork.
Recently, HMJ has transitioned from a print-only version to
an electronic format, allowing wider dissemination with minimal cost. Print
editions are still available for a fee. With the debut of this electronic
version, we would like to take this opportunity to extend an invitation to
receive free monthly electronic issues of the Journal. Simply subscribe through
the Hawai‘i Medical Journal website at http://www.hawaiimedicaljournal.org/subscribe.
Here you may also access prior editions. We are currently cataloging PDF files
of our Journal since its inception in 1941. For the August issue of HMJ, we are
particularly proud to provide a special supplement commemorating the 40th
anniversary of transplants in Hawai‘i.
We welcome your feedback as well as participation in the
ongoing evolution of the Journal. If you are interested in submitting an
article, please see the criteria established by the Journal editorial board and
the National Library of Medicine. The Hawai‘i Medical Journal has been in the
collection of the NLM since 1962.
Your questions and comments may be sent to our Production
Manager, Drake Chinen at drakechinen@gmail.com
for editorial submissions, Meagan Calogeras at mkmcalog@hawaii.edu for subscription inquiries, and info@hawaiimedicaljournal.org for other inquiries.
We look forward to your input and participation in making
health care as good as it can be in Hawai‘i and the Pacific Rim.
Mahalo,
