Healthy Hawaii Initiative Advisory Group

The Healthy Hawaii Initiative Advisory Group advises the Department of Health on the Healthy Hawaii Initiative, a statewide chronic disease prevention program focusing on tobacco control, physical activity, nutrition, and reducing health disparities across Hawaii's communities. It reviews program strategies, evaluates outcomes, and recommends priorities for state and federal chronic disease prevention funding. The initiative supports community-level interventions across all counties.

Chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity are major public health challenges in Hawaii, and this advisory group shapes the prevention programs and funding that address those conditions in your community. Community members and public health advocates can engage with the initiative's programs and provide input on local priorities.
