ABSTRACT
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 brought significant challenges for Native Hawaiians (NH), Pacific Islanders (PI), and other communities of color worldwide. Rapidly increasing rates of infection and transmission of the virus in Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) communities and incomplete or unavailable data signaled to Hawai'i's leaders that advocacy and action needed to take place to minimize the impact of COVID-19. The Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Response, Recovery, and Resilience team (NHPI 3R Team) emerged from an effort to lead and fill gaps in response to COVID-19. Through the swift, intentional, and collaborative work of the team and its partners, NHPI communities and the entities that serve them were better equipped to navigate the pandemic, improve health outcomes, and contribute to a reduction in the number of infections, a rise in vaccination uptake, and an increase in NH and PI representation on various levels of government agencies. As the world shifts its focus from COVID-19 to broader health topics, the NHPI 3R Team will continue to serve as a hub for the exchange of resources and a model of community-led work that can be used to tackle issues like COVID-19 and beyond.
