What's Being Discussed

The Hawaii State Neurotrauma Advisory Board will meet on October 22, 2026, from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. The meeting can be attended in person in Honolulu or joined online via Zoom. Key topics include:

• Progress on the Neurotrauma Strategic Plan for 2025–2030, including community outreach and ideas for partnering with local organizations
• An update on the Hawaii Concussion Awareness Management Program (HCAMP) and its BrainSpace curriculum, which teaches best practices for handling suspected or confirmed concussions — launched in April 2026
• Updates from brain injury support groups across the state, including groups on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island
• Reports from healthcare and community organizations such as Queens Medical Center, Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific, Kapiolani Medical Center, Catholic Charities Hawaii, and others — covering brain injury education, stroke outreach, car seat safety, fall prevention, and e-bike safety
• Island-by-island updates on neurotrauma-related events and resources

Decisions Expected

• Approval of the meeting minutes from August 27, 2026
• No new business is listed, so no additional votes are anticipated

Who Should Pay Attention

• People living with brain injuries or concussions, and their families and caregivers
• Healthcare providers and community organizations serving people with neurotrauma
• Educators and school staff interested in concussion awareness programs
• Anyone interested in injury prevention efforts across Hawaii

The next meeting is scheduled for December 10, 2026. Written testimony can be submitted by email to ntrauma@doh.hawaii.gov at least 48 hours before the meeting.
