HAwaI’I STATE RURAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION

Advancing Rural Health Across Hawai’i

Bringing together communities, organizations, resources and partners to address the unique challenges facing rural Hawai’i. By building local capacity, supporting the healthcare workforce, advancing community-driven solutions and elevating rural voices, Hawai’i State Rural Health Association strives to create healthier, more resilient communities across our state.

WHAT WE DO

Strengthening the People, Partnerships and Resources that make Rural Health Possible

Healthy rural communities depend on more than access to medical care. They need a strong healthcare workforce, connected organizations, shared knowledge, community-driven solutions and a voice in the decisions that shape their future. Hawai’i State Rural Health Association works across these areas to help build a rural health system that is more connected, resilient and responsive to the unique needs of Hawaiʻi’s communities.
