  067: Welcome back to OLG, Jasmine!

  Sep 24, 202615 min

  Episode Summary We welcome Ms. Jasmine Joao back to Obenauf Law Group! Many clients will remember Jasmine from her time at our front desk. Now she has gone and gotten herself graduated from the William S. Richardson School of Law and is back as our associate attorney. In addition to her work on Maui, Jasmine will play a big part in our new Big Island office, which opened in Kona in July. Meg and Jasmine chat about Jasmine's path to law school and back to OLG. They also share what really happens in a client meeting and why planning ahead matters so much. Key Takeaway Estate planning isn't just for someone else's family. Good planning protects everyone and keeps families out of court. Many of our clients go on to encourage their parents, siblings and children to plan too, and some even buy estate plans for their kids. An Important Update: Jasmine told us on the podcast she was expecting her bar exam results in October, but she got them early. She passed! Huzzah! She'll be getting sworn in in October.

  065: How Our Kupuna Supports Hawaii's Seniors Through Grocery Delivery, Care Navigation, and Friendly Check-ins

  Jul 16, 202632 min

  In This Episode We chat with Juna Sanchez and Primrose Lehualani Kekahuna Harris from Our Kupuna, a Hawaii nonprofit helping kupuna stay independent, connected, and supported at home — through the power of volunteers. About Our Kupuna Our Kupuna's Volunteer Connections Program, launched in 2020, matches volunteers with kupuna across the islands to help with grocery shopping, medication pickup, and essential errands. The organization also runs a Phone Buddy program, offering weekly check-in calls, and a Pen Pal program, where volunteers — often local high schoolers or Girl Scouts — send handwritten letters and cards to their matched kupuna each month. Both programs were created to fight isolation and bring a little joy into seniors' daily lives. In late 2023, Our Kupuna launched the Aloha Maui Program in response to the fires, serving kupuna 60 and older who were directly impacted. The program has grown from urgent essential-needs delivery into an ongoing effort that includes monthly food deliveries in partnership with the Maui Food Bank, Lyft-coordinated transportation to medical appointments, and hands-on care navigation to connect displaced kupuna with housing, financial assistance, and other resources. Many of the seniors they serve are not on social media or comfortable navigating services online. Join us as Lehua and Juna talk story about the work they do and its impact on our Hawaii kupuna! Get Involved Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer or referring a kupuna can visit ourkupuna.com or call 808-215-0073. While kupuna referrals are typically made through a healthcare professional, social worker, or case manager, Juna and Lehua encourage anyone with questions to simply reach out.

  064: But Who Helps Tutu After the Hospital? Bridging the Gap in Post-Acute Care with Kalele Care Services

  Jul 2, 202638 min

  When Tutu returns home from the hospital or the care home, who helps her get organized? Maybe Kalele Care Services! In this episode, we chat with Erin Salez, Clinical Operations Manager for Kalele Care Services. They play a critical role in post-acute (after the hospital or rehab) care across Hawaii. Erin breaks down what happens — and what can go wrong — in the gap between leaving the hospital and getting back to your regular doctor, and she explains how Kalele's nurse practitioner and community health workers step in to keep people safe, supported, and out of the hospital. We cover everything from medication management and "white coat syndrome" to home safety checks, social determinants of health, and a powerful client story about what's possible when care is delivered with compassion instead of judgment.
