National Nutrition Month Honorees
Posted March 05, 2012
In honor of National Nutrition Month in March, we recognize our Nutrition Services team of 47 individuals who ensure that our residents and clients enjoy nutritious, well-balanced meals three times a day, 365 days a year. They serve over 421,000 meals a year, and wash more than 1,100 dishes and over 200 pots/pans every day. A few long time team members share what they like most about working in Nutrition Services:
- Charlene Kuhia recently celebrated her 35th anniversary with the organization, and was one of the people who launched Wailuku’s continental breakfast. She enjoys interacting with the residents, always learning something new at work, and how the Nutrition Services team is like a second family.
- Eva Valentine has been with Hale Makua Health Services for over 30 years, and over that time has learned a lot about different diets, foods of different ethnicities, and cooking; which she enjoys applying when making meals for her own family.
- Lorena Hendrickson loves her job, and has been with our organization for 24 years. She enjoys prepping the food that nourishes our residents, and working with her coworkers, who are just like family.
