Therefore, although the County government has no direct <br />involvement in healthcare, 1 do not want to miss an opportunity to urge this Legislature <br />to do all it can to help our residents get quality care in a convenient and cost-effective <br />manner. <br />1 defer to the experts as to how our State's limited healthcare dollars can best be <br />spent, but if HB 782 has enough support at the Legislature, 1 assure you that the added <br />services on the Big island will certainly be most welcome. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Harry Kim <br />Mayor, County of Hawail <br />County of Ilawai`i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
