Jan Rumi CEO, Aliman Sears COO of Community Empowerment Services RE: GM ·527: Testimony in Support of Gubematorial Nominee Loretta 1. Fuddy, for Director of the Department of Health We as the CEO and COO of a non-profit organization providing community based mental health case management services strongly support Governor Abercrombie's appointment of Loretta Deliana Fuddy for the position of Director of Health for the State of Hawaii. We have known Ms. Fuddy in both personal and professional capacities for more than II years. So we know firsthand, and can say with conviction, that her extensive experience with Hawaii health, her moral integrity, outstanding work ethic, and her constant dedication to the people of Hawaii are among her strong qualities. The mission of the Department of Health is to monitor, protect, and enhance the health and enviromnent of the state of Hawaii. From our association with Ms. Fuddy, we can assure you that Ms. Fuddy has been doing just that for many years. She has worked at all levels and brings a wide range of experience in direct health care services as well as expertise in administration, management and oversight. In the early 1970's she started out as a basic intake worker for a juvenile detention facility. Throughout the 1970's and into the early 1980's, for various progralml within the Department of Health, she provided therapy, counseling and other social services to Hawaii's people. She did community outreach and health promotion, and administered and supervised interdisciplinary treatment teams, served as an advisor to community organizations, and worked tirelessly in child abuse prevention and other areas. As early as the mid-1980's Ms. Fuddy was supervising a large staff and a sizeable annual budget for the Department of Health.

    REPORT TO THE TWENTY-EIGHTH LEGISLATURE STATE OF HAWAII 2015 PURSUANT TO SECTION 326-25.5, HAWAII REVISED STATUTES, REQUIRING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO SUBMIT AN ANNUAL REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE ON INITIATIVES AND IMPROVEMENTS IN KALAUPAPA SETTLEMENT AND TO TRACK PATIENT AND NON-PATIENT COSTS SEPARATELY, WHENEVER APPROPRIATE AND POSSIBLE PREPARED BY: STATE OF HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH OCTOBER 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In accordance with Section 326-25.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) is submitting a report to the 2015 Legislature on initiatives and improvements in the Kalaupapa Settlement and patient and non-patient costs, whenever appropriate and possible. The initiatives and improvements are to address deficiencies identified by an audit (Auditor’s Report No. 03-15, Audit of Kalaupapa Settlement Operations and Expenditures) conducted during the summer of 2003. All of the six audit recommendations for the DOH identified in the Audit of Kalaupapa Settlement Operations and Expenditures have been addressed and corrected. Nine areas of concern were identified Act 232, Session Laws of Hawaii (SLH), 2004, in which the DOH was asked to report to the Legislature regarding our remediation and improvements in these areas. All nine areas have been addressed, corrected and are delineated in the DOH’s previous report to the Twenty-Third Legislature, 2005 and updated in subsequent annual reports. The DOH’s report to the Twenty-Eight Legislature, 2015 is an update to previously addressed issues. The focus for the DOH during this past year continues to be “right sizing” routine medical services for the patients, continuing the transition of infrastructure and non- health care responsibilities to the United States National Park Service (NPS), and promoting a positive living environment for the remaining patient residents.
