WHERE WE WORK
RURAL COMMUNITIES ARE WHERE INNOVATION HAPPENS
Long before we all faced the multitude of access challenges wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic, rural communities across Hawaiʻi had been struggling with how to deliver care to some of the most remote places in our state. HSRHA has been addressing these fundamental challenges for years.
DISTANCES AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Many residents living in rural communities face transportation and basic infrastructure challenges to obtaining care.
FUNDING FOR PROGRAMS
HSRHA is the conduit for resources and partnerships focused on our rural communities.
PROVIDER SHORTAGES
