Hawaii Board of Health Badges
In the Hawaii State Archives, the records relating to Hansen’s Disease in the Department of Health, Communicable Disease Division date from 1866. By 1905, 5,800 people had been isolated at Kalaupapa, on Molokai. Joseph de Veuster or Father Damien, the Belgian priest, born in 1840 at Tremeloo, near Mechlin, volunteered to go to Kalawao, Molokai, in May 1873. He found more than eight hundred people living in the settlement in the most rudimentary and dispiriting conditions. He worked tirelessly to improve the colony, to provide adequate shelter for the people, and to represent their needs to the parsimonious Board of Health.
