Bill > SCR158

This Concurrent Resolution requests the Department of Health and the County of Hawaii to conduct a feasibility study to determine the best way to implement an ambulance service for the town of Makalei, located in the rapidly growing north Kona region of Hawaii island. The study is needed because Makalei residents face long travel times to reach healthcare facilities, and emergency medical services are crucial for their access to care, especially given the increasing demand for these services in the area. The resolution also specifies that the study should include recommendations for the most efficient provision of ambulance service and that its findings should be submitted to the Governor and the Legislature by a specific date.
