Tri-Isle Subarea Health Planning Council

The Tri-Isle Subarea Health Planning Council advises the State Health Planning and Development Agency on healthcare needs and priorities in the Tri-Isle region, which encompasses Maui, Moloka'i, and Lana'i. The council reviews healthcare facility plans and Certificate of Need applications affecting the region, conducts community health needs assessments, and advocates for healthcare resources that address the unique geographic and demographic challenges of neighbor island communities. It serves as a local voice in statewide health planning.

Residents of Maui, Moloka'i, and Lana'i face distinct healthcare access challenges related to distance, provider shortages, and the difficulty of obtaining specialized care locally. Community members on these islands can engage with the council to ensure their healthcare needs are reflected in statewide planning decisions.
