Health & Wellness

The Hawaii Department of Health sets public health policy, licenses healthcare facilities, and manages disease surveillance across all islands. Access to care varies sharply between Oahu and the neighbor islands, where specialist shortages and transportation barriers affect outcomes for rural and elderly residents. State and county health boards make decisions about Medicaid coverage, mental health services, and environmental health permits — all in public meetings where community input is formally part of the record.
