Overview

Mission

Dedicated to fostering primary health care for all Hawaii residents, particularly the medically underserved. The mission of the Hawaii primary care association is to improve the health of communities in need by advocating for, expanding access to, and sustaining high quality care through the statewide network of community health centers.

What it reported doing in 2024

Communications and policy- the objective of the communications and policy component of the Hawaii primary care association (hpca) is demonstrating the value of Hawaii's community health centers (chc) and the hpca in improving health equity for Hawaii's vulnerable populations and bringing to light the impact of non-medical factors on individual and community health. A major strategy we continue to employ to this end is the fostering and sustaining of strong partnerships with healthcare and public health stakeholders external to membership. We are consistently and intentionally investing time and effort to solidify and strengthen our success in this area. The following are major partnerships hpca has successfully nurtured and strengthened during this period. - Hawaii department of health - school health - pediatric behavioral health - chronic disease prevention - food prescription program - communicable disease surveillance- Hawaii department of human services - medicaid programming - nutritional support- john a.
