 The American Liver Foundation, Hawai'i Chapter's 2008 fundraising gala will feature island music legend Keali'i Reichel, a long-time supporter of the Hawai'i Chapter.
"We're thrilled that Keali'i Reichel has graciously agreed to perform at our upcoming fundraising gala," said Wesley Yamamoto, Hawai'i Chapter board president. "Keali'i left a lasting impression when he entertained a special group of American Liver Foundation supporters at our chapter's inaugural 2005 event held at a private residence in Nu'uanu, and we're grateful for his continued support."
Keali'i Reichel understands the importance of of the American Liver Foundation's message: Your liver is your life; you can't live without it. Seeing someone close to him battle liver disease and undergo the arduous journey of a liver transplant has had a profound effect on him. Keali'i is honored to share his music once again and give a special tribute to Hawaii's premier liver transplant surgeon, Linda L. Wong, MD.
About Dr. Wong
Dr. Wong is currently with Surgical Associates, Inc., where she started the liver transplant program in 1993 and performed the first liver transplant in that year. Her dedication to Hawaii's liver patients has been a gift of life and hope to more than 100 patients, families, and loved ones whose lives have been affected by liver disease. In addition to liver transplants, Dr. Wong also specializes in hepatobiliary surgery, kidney transplants, bone marrow transplants, and also performs many complex general surgery procedures.
As a Professor of Surgery for the University of Hawaii John A. Burns School of Medicine, she is involved in many research projects, writing of scientific papers, and teaching surgical residents. She was also named to the list of 2006 Best Doctors by Honolulu Magazine.
Dr. Wong was instrumental in starting the Hawai'i Chapter of the American Liver Foundation, serves on the chapter's board of directors and medical advisory committee, and provides valuable chapter development and program input.
