Oahuwide Certificate of Need Review Committee

The Oahuwide Certificate of Need Review Committee evaluates applications for new or expanded health care facilities and services on O'ahu that require a Certificate of Need under Hawaii law, assessing whether proposed projects are justified by community health needs and consistent with the state health plan. It reviews hospital expansions, new long-term care beds, and other regulated health services to prevent duplication and ensure community benefit. Its recommendations inform Sở Y tế's certificate of need decisions.

Certificate of need decisions determine which health care facilities and services are available in your community; this committee's reviews affect whether new hospitals, clinics, or care facilities are approved on O'ahu.
