Bill > SCR182

This Concurrent Resolution requests the University of Hawaii to develop training programs for community health workers, who are individuals that help connect underserved populations with healthcare resources, ensuring that the curriculum is culturally relevant to the diverse communities they serve. It also asks the university to include distance-learning options to make these training programs accessible to students on neighbor islands, addressing inequities in access to education and healthcare professions. Furthermore, the resolution urges the university to identify other ways to tailor these programs to community needs and to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature by a specific date.
