Bill > SR142

This Resolution formally requests the Office of Primary Care and Rural Health, a state agency focused on improving health in rural and underserved areas, to begin developing a "2030 One Shared Health Vision Plan" specifically for Hawaii County. This initiative aims to address the county's significant challenges in providing quality healthcare, including a shortage of primary care workers and geographic barriers to access, by fostering collaboration among government, private medical providers, and community health organizations. The plan will focus on aligning services to meet the needs of vulnerable populations and will include a pilot program. The Office is also tasked with reporting on this plan, including any potential funding requests, to the State Legislature by early 2023.
