The letter was not only on the website, it was also in the state's Health Newsletter, Inspire Magazine, on Page 8 of the Spring 2009 edition -- "A Publication of The Foundations of Hawaii Pacific Health"
That newsletter went out to thousands of health care professionals across Hawaii a few months ago.
NOTE: Below, it says "President Barack Obama sent this official congratulatory letter, read by Congressman Abercrombie." IN THAT LETTER, it clearly says "As a beneficiary of the excellence of Kapi'olani Medical Center – the place of my birth..." I'VE NEITHER SEEN NOR HEARD OF A RETRACTION BY THE NEWSLETTER, NOR ABERCROMBIE, OF THIS ARTICLE.
Here's the link to that newsletter on the kapiolanigift.org website: http://www.kapiolanigift.org/press_room/Publications/Inspire%20Magazine%20Spring%202009.pdf:
