A Year In Review: COVID-19

Dr Clare Schnurr and her husband Dr Paul Moroz moved to Hawaii from Canada’s capital city, Ottawa, 5 years ago to pursue a new medical career working with Pacific Islanders and new immigrants at Kalihi Palama Health Center. Career plans changed last year and a move to Straub Clinic, Urgent Care allowed time off to join Dr Paul’s Outreach medical missions to the South Pacific Islands. Then COVID hit…no more travel. Medical duties now focus on Urgent Care and direct Outpatient care of COVID patients. Dr Schnurr is Board Certified in Family Medicine in both Canada and the United States and has practiced Family Medicine for over 25 years. Clare has a Master’s Degree in Medical Research and she received her MD degree and Family Physician Residency from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Her Special interests in Global Health have taken her to the Gambia, West Africa, Tanzania, Nepal and Bhutan, Asia. Clare has been a member of the Rotary Club Honolulu Sunset for 3 years and has fond memories of joining the Metro Rotary Club in “Clearing the Bush” for the development of Pearl Haven residence on the north shore Clare and Paul have 3 grown children living in Canada. When not working, Clare enjoys paddling, hiking, snorkeling and exploring.
