On April 6th, the Hawaii Public Health Association celebrated National Public Health Week with an event at the UH Cancer Center’s Sullivan Conference Center. The theme of the night was “Healthiest Nation 2030: What Do You Bring To The Table?”

Age-Friendly Honolulu’s roundtable theme was “An Intergenerational Approach to Age-Friendly Communities”. Dr. Christy Nish*ta, consultant to Age-Friendly Honolulu, represented the initiative along with two students from ‘Iolani School who have projects that impact the Age-Friendly Honolulu Initiative. Bryson Choy is working with Colby Takeda from Plaza Assisted Living on a project called “Honolulu Walks”, an intergenerational photovoice project that is analyzing walkability in Honolulu communities. Marley Dyer’s project promotes transportation alternatives and is piloting the GoGo Grandparent service, which allows older adults to access rides through Uber and Lyft using a touch tone phone. The Age-Friendly Honolulu transportation workgroup is in conversation with GoGo Grandparent and analyzing how cities like Los Angeles are subsidizing these rides for older adults.
