Our Logo: Explained
The University of Hawai‘i Department of Medicine logo weaves together elements that reflect our mission, values, and connection to the community. The canoe, shaped like a helping hand, symbolizes the dedication of Internal Medicine physicians guiding patients on their journey toward healing and wellness. The stars represent both the diverse specialties within the department and the aspiration for optimal health. Overlaying the design is the Maui hook constellation, paying tribute to the resilience and recovery of the Maui community following the fires.
