Honolulu Subarea Health Planning Council

The Honolulu Subarea Health Planning Council advises Sở Y tế on health planning and resource needs for the Honolulu urban core service area, identifying gaps in health services and recommending priorities for state health investment. It provides community input from Honolulu's diverse neighborhoods, including underserved communities in areas like Chinatown and Kalihi. The council coordinates with healthcare providers, nonprofits, and community organizations.

Honolulu residents, particularly those in medically underserved areas, can shape how state health resources are planned and allocated in their communities through this council. Public participation provides a voice for communities that experience health disparities.
