The Covid 19 Pandemic devasted our Pacific Islander communities who suffered six times the death rate and 12 times the hospitalization rate compared to other racial groups in WA and across the country. Pacific Islanders from all regions of Oceania who spoke many different languages came together to heed the call of healing that our communities needed. In 2022 due to the work of Pacific Islander community healers, we became the most vaccinated community in Washington state. Our lessons were: we need to continue to resource our own Oceanian healers with the tools and knowledge to save our people. We also needed to couple our health interventions with language access, access to cultural foods, access to health dollars and create spaces of learning, belonging and care. Oceania Healers Initiative (OHI) equips Pacific Islander trusted messengers with the tools to combat disease and early death through culturally effective interventions. OHI is held every 4th Tuesday.
