Preventive Health Services Block Grant Advisory Committee

The Preventive Health Services Block Grant Advisory Committee advises the Hawaii Sở Y tế on how to allocate federal Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant funding. The committee reviews proposals for programs addressing priority public health needs such as chronic disease prevention, injury prevention, and health emergency preparedness. It ensures that grant funds are directed toward evidence-based interventions that benefit Hawaii communities.

This committee influences where federal public health dollars flow within Hawaii, affecting programs that serve communities statewide. Public health advocates, community organizations, and residents can engage with Sở Y tế's grant planning process to advocate for their priority health issues.
