Art has the power to help us process, remember, connect, and heal. 🎨✍️💛

Our Outreach Coordinator, Abigail, had the opportunity to attend Poetry Fest at Basically Books in Hilo. While our guests were here in Hilo, Executive Director Andrea Wernli and Development Manager Samantha Bechert were also able to welcome them to Hawaiʻi Island Adult Care and provide a tour of our center.

We were grateful to connect with Hawaiʻi Poet Laureate Lee Tonouchi (2026–2029), Michelle Mitsumori, Director of Community Partnerships for the Hawaiʻi Council for the Humanities, Aiko Yamashiro, Executive Director of the Hawaiʻi Council for the Humanities, and Suzanne Wang, HIAC Ceramic Instructor and Caregiver.

Following the tour, we shared ideas about future collaborative workshops for caregivers that could create meaningful spaces for storytelling through poetry, ceramics, and creative expression.

We are excited about the possibilities of bringing these art forms together to support caregivers while honoring the importance of storytelling, cultural connection, creativity, reflection, and art as part of the healing process.

Mahalo nui to the Hawaiʻi Council for the Humanities for creating opportunities for connection, creativity, and meaningful conversation. We look forward to continuing this collaborative work. 🌺

In memory of Dolly Parton, who dedicated her final years to caring for her beloved husband, Carl Dean. Her journey reminds us of the profound challenges caregivers face—often at the expense of their own health. As we honor her legacy, let’s not forget the crucial lesson she taught us: self-care is essential. If you’re caring for a loved one, remember to prioritize your own well-being. It’s not selfish; it’s necessary. 💖

Share this with a caregiver who needs this reminder today.

After Hurricane Lala, there’s something especially comforting about coming back together around a warm, home-cooked meal. 💛

We are so grateful to our amazing Kitchen Manager, Nicole, for preparing today’s delicious hot meal for our HIAC participants—and even more grateful to see so many of their lovely faces back with us, safe and smiling.

Moments like these remind us that HIAC is more than a place to gather. It is a community that cares for one another through every season. 🌺

Mahalo to our participants, families, caregivers, and staff. We are thankful to be together again. ❤️
