Bill > SCR149

This Concurrent Resolution requests the Office of Primary Care and Rural Health, a state agency focused on improving health in rural and underserved areas, to start a "2030 One Shared Health Vision Plan" and a pilot program specifically in Hawaii County. This plan aims to address the county's significant challenges in providing quality healthcare, which are exacerbated by socioeconomic disadvantages and geographic distances, and a shortage of primary healthcare workers. The resolution also asks the office to work with local health and social service organizations to better meet the needs of vulnerable populations by coordinating their services and goals, and to report back to the state legislature with findings and any requests for future funding by early 2023.
