Hawaii Residency Programs Brand Identity Design and Website Development
Hawaii Residency Programs (HRP) was founded in 1982 through the efforts of advocates, community, and health organizations. These founding members created HRP to provide better medical care for the people of Hawai‘i by the advancement of medical education and training for medical residents in the State of Hawai‘i. Over time, HRP has expanded to include 17 ACGME-accredited residency and fellowship programs on O‘ahu with some programs offering clinical rotation experiences on the neighbor islands.
HRP, under new leadership and with a fresh vision, aimed to ensure their identity represented who they were and were becoming. They also sought to proactively promote awareness and consistency in their brand. Their goal was to establish a clear and unified identity to build trust among prospective residents and partners, raise awareness about their program offerings and history, and create a centralized online resource for shared information.
