What's Being Discussed

The Hawaii State Neurotrauma Advisory Board is meeting on June 25, 2026, from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. Topics include:

• Progress on the Neurotrauma Strategic Plan (2025–2030), including community outreach, partnerships, advocacy, and efforts to have the University of Hawaii manage the Hawaii Neurotrauma Registry.
• An update on BrainSpace, an online concussion education program launched in April 2026 by the University of Hawaii, including how many people have used it and board members' experiences with it.
• Updates from brain injury support groups across the state, including groups on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island, plus reports on any related legislation.
• Reports from healthcare and community organizations such as Queens Medical Center, Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific, Kapiolani Medical Center, Catholic Charities Hawaii, and others on their brain injury education, outreach, and safety programs.

Decisions Expected

• Approval of the meeting minutes from May 7, 2026.
• No new business items are listed, so no additional votes are anticipated.

Who Should Pay Attention

• People living with brain injuries, strokes, or concussions and their families.
• Healthcare providers and community organizations serving people with neurotrauma.
• Anyone interested in brain injury prevention and education programs in Hawaii.
• Residents statewide — the meeting is open to the public in person in Honolulu or virtually via Zoom.
