Say 'Oh Hey' to OHEA's newest Team Member!

OHEA General Information


OHEA is very excited to introduce our new staff member who joined our team in July. Learn a little bit about PÄ«kake Kahananu by reading their bio below!





Aloha all! My name is PÄ«kake (her/she/'oia) and I am grateful to join OHEA as the Reproductive Justice and Gender Affirming Care Strategist, serving QTBIPOC in Multnomah, Clackamas, and Washington counties. I am excited to bring my personal and professional experience to this work. In the past I have co-organized and participated in focus groups with Pacific Islander populations addressing health equity, as well as co-organizing COVID testing and vaccine clinics across the tri-county area serving BIPOC communities. Every week I co-host Apothecary Day at my house, where community members gather to harvest medicinal plants from my farm-yard to create medicine such as tinctures and teas for community distribution. I am also a yoga practitioner, completing 500 hours of Yoga Teacher Training with Ignite Yoga Institute for Social Change. I am Hawaiian and Spaniard and I was raised in diaspora in the south of Turtle Island. I bring my cultures, my commitment to serving community, and my yogic values to this work and I am humbled to be here. Mahalo!
