2024 Hawai’i Healthcare Conference

 

Mahalo!

Mahalo nui for your attendance at the Hawai`i Island Healthcare Conference on October 5, 2023. Your presence at the conference is much appreciated, and your active engagement, thoughtful questions, and contributions during the various sessions and discussions enriched the overall experience for all attendees and contributed to the sense of community that defines our gatherings.

Our hope for the conference was the creation of a collaborative foundation where healthcare and social service professionals, government officials, policymakers, and representatives from various community sectors from across our island come together to exchange ideas that result in specific goals that we work on together.  To that end, a smaller group met the following day, reviewed the recurring issues and themes identified during the conference, and committed to working together to develop a Master Plan for Community Centric Care on Hawai`i Island.
