Dr. Jimmy Yoon is Kauai’s “most beloved” infectious disease specialist….I think he is the only infectious disease specialist…..but anyways, I personally have been a patient of his. I went to India recently and contracted Malaria. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize I was sick until after I had been carrying the little buggers around in my blood system for over a month. By the time I hit the ER at the hospital, I was delirious with a fever. Dr. Yoon treated me, and I can’t remember much about that time, but I can’t wait to meet him again under more celebratory circumstances.
Thank you Dr. Yoon for your contribution to the health on the Island of Kauai. You are appreciated.
Kauai United Way is a supporter of Malama Pono and is eager to help them achieve their goals. Please join us on February 26th. Mahalo!
