Hometown Hero - Takako Nakaaki
Hometown Hero Week 28 Winner - Takako Nakaaki
Congratulations to our Hometown Hero week 28 winner, Takako Nakaaki! Takako is the head Epidemiologist for the Department of Health Maui. She puts in enormous hours per day away from her family to our community, working 7 days a week since COVID started. She does this all selflessly and for the betterment of our community. She is a hero that would never ask to be recognized, nor do people understand how pivotal her role is.
Thank you Takako for the dedication you have shown to our community. The work that you do, understanding how infection and disease affects our community has not gone unnoticed. You are a real life hero and we are forever grateful.
