Letter from the President – October 2022

Alfred Mina, DVM
HVMA President

Aloha Everyone!

Hope everyone is doing well and ready for Fall and the Holiday Season because it’s coming up shortly. We are so excited to have 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 us, and wet labs for our veterinarians and support staff. It seems like we’re still facing professional staffing shortages in the islands, causing limited services to the communities in certain areas. 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 do so 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
