Join Dr. Hood as she talks to Kurt Sullivan who is affectionately known as "Sully" on The Big Island of Hawaii. Together they discuss and explore the challenges of being an island community that is largely dependent on tourism and what COVID19 has done not only to the economy but to the local people.
Dr. Hood and Sully also discuss past and ongoing struggles, as well as future opportunities for the people of The Big Island. Sully challenges leaders to be as attentive to the opioid crisis, homelessness, and the keikis (children) of Hawaii as they have been to COVID19.
