“Easterseals Hawaii (ESH) provides exceptional, individualized, family-centered services to empower people with disabilities or special needs to achieve their goals and live independent, fulfilling lives. Following a year of unexpected change and many unknowns, Easterseals Hawaii (ESH) continued to fulfill its mission, provide high-quality services, and support its workforce. Using a people-first approach to care, and delivering new clinical modalities that offer enhanced flexibility, Easterseals Hawaii was able to continue meeting the needs of families and practitioners alike. Thanks to the team's efforts and strategic pivoting in 2020, Easterseals Hawaii was able to maintain a 200 plus person staff, focus on employee wellbeing, bringing critical support to our frontline workforce, and serve more than 2,000 families by delivering over 221,000 service hours in 2021. Additionally, we brought back myBrightlink Virtual Camp and Club to provide children and adult participants in our programs some fun, as well as educational and social connection via a classic summer camp-like experience, at no cost to families. Due to the success of Camp and Club, we proceeded to launch a Virtual Respite Care program to families receiving services, providing participants with up to 6 hours per week of interactive fun via Zoom that complements their treatment, while providing parents and caregivers with a much-needed break to support their wellbeing. Easterseals Hawaii is also a member of a family of companies including the Catalight Foundation, the BHPN, Easterseals Northern California and Xolv Technology Solutions. Across the five companies, there are over 600 employees working together to help create a more equitable world so that people with developmental disabilities can choose their path. We do this by breaking down barriers and biases, providing access to innovative individualized care services, clinical research and advocacy powered by intelligent technologies.”
