Letter from the President – April 2022

Alfred Mina, DVM
HVMA President

Happy Easter Everyone!

Hope everyone is doing well and adjusting to the new COVID-19 Pandemic lifting of the mask mandate. Do what is best for your situation to keep you and your staff safe.

The HVMA board is continually preparing for the upcoming in-person HVMA Annual meeting scheduled for November 2022. We are planning on having great speakers from different disciplines to share their knowledge with all of us.

It seems like we’re still facing professional staffing shortages in the islands. Many of us have been affected by the pandemic, causing staff shortage and supply chain issues. Hopefully, the rest of 2022 gets better as we continue to stay healthy, vigilantly safe, and happy.

Thank you to those who continue to support HVMA. A lot of this is done through membership dues. If you haven’t renewed your membership yet, please feel free to renew here.

Please don’t forget to check in on our online CE provided by HVMA. Let us know if there’s any specific topics that we can investigate for future presentations. Please continue to stay safe and hope to see you all soon!

Aloha from Big Island,
Alfred J. Mina, DVM
HVMA President
