To the family caregivers in our community — we see you, we honor you, and we are so grateful for all that you do.

You show us what it means to show up with patience, strength, and compassion. You hold families together. You make hard days gentler. You remind us that real care is quiet, steady, and full of heart.

It’s through caregivers that we’ve learned how to care. You set the standard for how we walk beside every participant who comes through our doors. Your example shapes the way we listen, the way we explain, and the way we make sure people feel safe and supported.

Because of you, our communities continue to thrive. And because of you, we strive to lead with the same kind of integrity and kindness every day.

In gratitude, we thrive! 💚

Kalo Clinical Research joined Day 2 of the Utah Pacific Islander Health Coalition - UPIHC Fair & Symposium to stand with our Pacific Islander community under this year’s theme: “Aloalo Fa’atasi — Paddling Together.”

Moments like these remind us that progress in health begins with connection—listening with intention, learning from one another, and making sure every community is seen in the research that shapes tomorrow’s medicine.

Deep gratitude to UPIHC for creating a space where culture, health, and community move forward together.

In gratitude, we thrive!

Today, we’re celebrating World Kindness Day — a reminder of how much care and compassion shape the experience of clinical research.

At Kalo, kindness is woven into our daily rhythm: slowing down to answer questions, creating a welcoming space for every visitor, and meeting people with patience and respect. These small moments matter.

You can join us in spreading kindness today by:
• Checking in on someone who might need support
• Sharing a sincere “thank you”
• Holding space for a friend, neighbor, or family member
• Offering understanding instead of judgment

Kindness brings people together.
💚 In gratitude, we thrive!

Today, we pause to honor all who have served — and to extend heartfelt gratitude to those who continue to serve in every form of protection, compassion, and care.

At Kalo, this day carries special meaning. Many of Bella’s family members have served our country with courage and integrity. Their example continues to guide how we serve others through ethical, people-first research.

💚 To every veteran, including our own families — thank you for your service.

Together, we honor the past. 🌊

Before GPS or satellites, Pacific Islanders crossed the vast ocean using stars, wind, and memory. Their journeys weren’t just about travel—they were about care. Each voyage carried medicines, knowledge, and connection between islands and generations.

That same spirit of innovation and service guides us today at Kalo Clinical Research. When we design and conduct clinical studies, we’re continuing that legacy of protecting people through exploration and discovery.

Innovation, to us, doesn’t start in a lab. It starts with people—their stories, their courage, and their trust. We blend cultural wisdom with modern science so progress never leaves our communities behind.

Every inclusive study, every ethical safeguard, every conversation in our clinic is a small act of navigation—finding a safer path forward for all of us.

Because protecting people matters more than protecting profits. 💚

Because innovation has always been our way of caring.

Kapua KaĘťapu Sproat.

Her husband Kamaka was my dad’s best friend growing up — he’s the one holding me as a baby in one of these photos. Three weeks ago, I was honored to spend a day with her, in awe of her regal grace and drawing what I could from her wisdom under our shared mountain in Punalu’u.

Kapua carried such calm strength. Her unconditional and nonjudgmental love and steadiness have always been part of our family’s story. Her spirit has shaped generations of us — quietly, lovingly.

There aren’t really words for someone so sacred and forever in my heart. Just gratitude — for her laughter, her stories, and the way she made me feel like I belonged. My sister Kapua who was named after her in 1967 wrote a poem for her family yesterday that captures more than I ever could:

“She is - the purity of a white ginger bud

She is - the sun coming up over Punalu’u Valley ridge

She is - the music in Waiono stream

She is - the breezes in the pili grass

She is - the way a full moon shines on kukui leaves

She is - that glistening ball of water in the middle of a kalo plant”

She knew who she was and stood confident in her place as a daughter of God.

I strive to be a portion of the woman she was for MY loved ones and posterity.

♥️ Love you Aunty Kapua!

When COVID-19 hit, Pacific Islander and other underrepresented communities faced higher risks—not because of weakness, but because their realities weren’t reflected in the data.

75% of clinical trial participants in the U.S. are white—even for diseases that impact other communities most. [Source: FDA 2020]

Inclusive research isn’t a trend. It’s life-saving.

At Kalo Clinical Research, we’re making sure every community is seen and included—because safer medicine starts with data that reflects real lives.

“Representation isn’t optional—it’s life-saving.”

We don’t answer to pharma. We answer to people. 💚

Every study we run is guided by one promise: to protect participants and honor the communities who make progress possible.
That’s why independence matters — it keeps research honest, transparent, and rooted in care.

Kalo Clinical Research walks with our partners, not for them — because protecting people matters more than protecting profits.

Community keeps us moving—mind, body, and heart. 💙

We’re grateful to the organizers of this year’s 5K Utah Pacific Islander Health Coalition - UPIHC for creating space where health, connection, and hope meet. Seeing our founder and CEO, Bella Tukuafu Johnson, out on the course reminds us what people-first research is all about—showing up, standing together, and moving medicine forward for everyone.

Here’s to every runner, volunteer, and neighbor who made today possible. Together, we thrive—in gratitude and in motion. 🏃🏽‍♀️🌺

“In gratitude, we thrive.”

We’re heading to Washington State! 🌺

Our Founder & CEO Bella Tukuafu Johnson and Site Director Alina Nahele Brewer will represent Kalo Clinical Research at the Native Hawaiian Convention hosted by the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement at the Tulalip Resort Casino.

They’ll be there to connect with fellow Native Hawaiian leaders and share how Kalo’s mission—ethical, inclusive, community-guided research—can help shape medicine that truly serves our people.

If you’re attending, come say aloha! We’d love to meet you, hear your stories, and talk about how research can strengthen our communities.
