2024 Unbridled Spirit Award Recipient Dr. Elia R. Cole
At first glance, it may appear ironic that Dr. Elia R. Cole, DO, MPH, provides healthcare from her home as part of Northwest Permanente’s virtual healthcare services. After all, much of Cole’s life has been spent on wide-ranging journeys in pursuit of learning and medical opportunities to be in service to others. Born in the Hudson Valley in upstate New York, Cole’s interest in healthcare was sparked when her mother was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Cole was just 14 years old but marveled at the all-female medical group that cared for her mother. Inspired and motivated, Cole wasted little time in pursuing a career. As a pre-med student at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, Cole was an EMT and became Bard’s Director of Emergency Medical Services.

Oʻahu can seem like paradise, with its stunning beaches and lush tropical environment, but the Hawaiian island’s remote location often results in a shortage of resources – including a shortage of healthcare providers in almost every specialty. Mariam Fawaz, RN, works as a staff nurse in a telemetry unit located in suburban Oʻahu. Half of her patients are Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders, while the other half consists of military personnel or retirees who have immigrated from the contiguous United States.
