The public is invited to attend the Red Hill Registry Launch and Community Fair on August 2, 10 a.m.–2 p.m., at the Moanalua High School cafeteria and courtyard.
The Red Hill Registry aims to track health outcomes and provide resources for those who experienced the 2021 fuel release into the Navy’s drinking water system on Oʻahu.
The independent initiative is led by the University of Hawaiʻi System Office of Strategic Health Initiatives, and was co-designed with the community.
“This registry will serve as a crucial tool for both monitoring health outcomes and ensuring that individuals have access to the support they need,” said Rosana Weldon, director of the Red Hill Registry. “Every enrollment in the Red Hill Registry, whether an individual experienced health effects or not, helps us build a more comprehensive picture of the long-term impact of this crisis.”
This family-friendly event will feature a variety of activities, food, resource booths and more. The fair will bring together community partners and members of the Red Hill community, offering an opportunity to learn more about the registry, receive assistance with pre-enrollment and connect with various support services.
“The launch of the Red Hill Registry is a significant milestone for our community,” said Tara Sutton, director of community engagement at the Red Hill Registry. “From the beginning, we have worked hard to build a strong foundation of trust with our community by speaking with and engaging individuals across the community throughout the registry’s development.”
