Involved with the Tropic Care Kauai missions, Guest focuses on updating emergency response plans and improving the readiness of Kauai’s communities. Prior to moving here in 2015, Guest worked for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, and India on global preparedness and emergency health needs assessments.
