They treat patients while guiding MD students or supervising MD Residents and Fellows, some while also running departments or divisions within the medical school. We salute them!<\/p><p>We are singling out Dr. Tseng, because she has had an extraordinary year. As the first person from Hawai\u02bbi ever to be appointed to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, Dr. Tseng and her panel help shape health policy in America. This year she was assigned to be a task force spokesperson on two important announcements about new recommendations in women\u2019s health. In February 2018, she spoke to local and national news media about a concerning uptick in the number of infants born with congenital syphilis, which can cause deformities, blindness, deafness or even the baby\u2019s death.<\/p><p>The task force\u2019s recommendation, reaffirmed through Dr. Tseng\u2019s statements, was that all pregnant women should be screened for syphilis. In June, 2018, she was tapped to help spread public information about the recommendation that women 65 and older should be screened for osteoporosis. She was interviewed or quoted by media outlets including National Public Radio, the Boston Globe, Science Daily, United Press International and did a podcast with the editor of JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association.<\/p><p>Dr. Tseng also pitched out in a more down-to-earth fashion during the year. In May 2018, she joined a hardy group of neighborhood volunteers with shovels and mops who helped others clean up after what was the worst flooding to strike in East Honolulu in 30 years. She and other members of \u02bb\u0100ina Haina Prepared went house to house to help families clean debris, and to bail out the flooded \u02bb\u0100ina Haina Public Library, too. She said the real heroes were community members and volunteers from all over the state who spent multiple weekends helping families carry mud-laden furniture out of houses to curbs and scrubbing floors and walls.<\/p><blockquote><p>\u201cOne thing that struck me about the experience was that in a disaster, you often really have to rely on yourself and your neighbors to be the first line of help.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-45adb4ab elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"45adb4ab\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2eeb3071\" data-id=\"2eeb3071\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18769f7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"18769f7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/news-all\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">&lt;&lt;   &nbsp;Return To News<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 24, 2019 &#8212; Family Medicine&#8217;s Dr. Chien-Wen Tseng contributed in the efforts to help those who were affected in the flooding in \u02bb\u0100ina Haina last year.
