Honolulu, Hawaii — On Wednesday, September 21, 2011, Maluhia’s staff and volunteers hosted a dedication ceremony, recognizing the donors contributing to the completion of the healing garden.
With funding assistance from Central Pacific Bank and Al Yazawa, M.D., Maluhia medical director, the Alewa Heights long-term care facility was able to develop this special garden. At the same time, Mr. Richard Takara, a participant (outpatient) of the Maluhia Adult Day Health Center, whole-heartedly donated his home-grown bonsai plants that he had cared for many years.
