I agree with all the great comments and spiritual perspective. What a incredible blessing to see more Native Hawaiians continue to lead the way.
Indeed you are an inspiration and have accomplished so much. I have a feeling you will go on to do greater things. You are remarkable and a inspiration to all!

Congratulations Jamie! You are such an inspiration to me and my Pacific Island colleagues who are trying to help our minority students living in poverty, to achieve college education so they could enjoy a better future for themselves and their families. I love how you incorporate native Hawaiian culture into your healing approach.

Read about Michael Rodolico, another UH alum who has earned the Robert Wood Johnson Community Health Leaders award, in Nevada. Rodolico extended medical care to the uninsured, mental services to poor children and dental care to seniors in Nevada.

Congratulations Jamie! I especially love your statement, “As a nurse practitioner, I have prescriptive authority, but I have not found a drug that heals the soul like helping another human being.” –So AWESOME! Thanks for all you do!

Congratulations to Jamie Boyd, my hero! She is an inspiration to so many, including myself. I love how she has incorporated Hawaiian ways of healing (and teaching) into the nursing pathway program. Way to go, Jamie!
