U.S. Air Force Maj. Isabel Hung Wan, left, receives a challenge coin from U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Bill Soliz on June 6, 2024, at Red Hill Clinic, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Honolulu, Hawaii, for providing medical support following a November 2021 jet fuel release that exposed members of the community to contaminated water. Hung Wan is a physician assistant with 15th Medical Group, 15th Wing; Soliz is the director of Defense Health Network Indo-Pacific. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Hung Wan immigrated with her parents in 1989 at the age of 10 and now calls Los Angeles home.
Hung Wan appreciated assistance from the clinic support staff and was glad to help patients worried about water contamination. “Patients that came into the clinic were concerned about their exposure to the water contamination and how that exposure has affected them and can affect their health in the future. As a medical provider, I treated the patients’ symptoms, referred them to see specialists and do further tests, if needed. That is a typical job of a medical provider, but patients were mostly happy that there was this specific clinic set up for someone to hear about their medical concerns and provide overall reassurance. This taught me to be more compassionate and I will use this moving forward.”
