Victor is currently president of the Pacific Islander Health Partnership and is co-chair of the Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander Alliance.
In 1990, Victor Kaiwi Pang was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Mr. Pang worked with OCAPICA, the Orange County Asian & Pacific Islander Community Alliance, helped in outreaching to Native Hawaiian men for their men's health support group. Generally we focused on men's health, but there was a small part of the support group that focused on cancer and survivorship.
Victor helped to form a program called Ohana Retreat. "Ohana" means family. The retreat gathers generations of the Hawaiian families to University of California, Irvine and immerses everyone in the Hawaiian values, language, song and culture. His cancer survivorship story is shared in APIAHF's A Book of Hope.
