Health is in everything we do, and the surest way to creating a thriving, healthy society is through the power of community.

Matthew Nagato is the Communications Director for the Hawai'i Primary Care Association, a nonprofit public health organization dedicated to improving the health of communities. He is also the writer, director, and producer of the acclaimed documentary "Ola - Health is Everything." Since 1987, he's worked in a variety of Hawai'i's health care organizations, leveraging his experience in strategic planning, operations, communications, and information systems. After many years in the care delivery and financing sectors, Matthew now devotes his energies to transforming public health and creating thriving communities.

In 2012 he developed the "What is a Community Health Center?" animated advocacy project, which received national and international attention for its clear and inventive use of video for patient education. He speaks regularly at health care conferences and to medical organizations on system transformation, health care reform, and innovation.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
