“Healthy aging”—as well as many of the chronic diseases of aging—begin when we are young, in the families and communities that raise us. Lifesaving interventions of healthy food, physical activity, supportive relationships, and finding peace and purpose are not routinely prescribed within our current health care system or covered by health insurance. This film was created to advance conversations about the integration of Traditional and Western medicine to improve health by focusing on outcomes that are meaningful to patients. It was inspired by the wisdom of elders, caregivers, and other community members across the United States and brought to life by those in Hawaiʻi, where the hope for integrative health care reflects a deep understanding of the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—and each person’s connection to their ancestors, their communities, and the natural environment that sustains life. “Restoring Lōkahi” is brought to us by Dr. Karen Pellegrin of the UH-Hilo College of Pharmacy and by videographer/director Daniel Emhof—followed by a Q&A session--on two occasions: Monday evening, September 22, and the following afternoon, Tuesday, September 23.
