and implementation of a noel health plan fc~r ih: ~lirh~ict, of Puna and Bali 1s a

risk in ~heStata of Ha~~aii. I feel dial it is.en impor~::nt chat ~~e appro~'e this resolution.
The sheer size of thaw districts makes it hard for m_iu~ citizens to get to medical care. -As
a member of the Board of lliractors of iha Bay CGi~ic ~~hich is the largest non-profit
medical prop ider for both Puna and Iia~u- I sec the ~•i~ hlcm of adequate medical ser~~icas
~~idiin these comminutes eerting ~corsa e~~r ,1.~ Puna and lia'u :na both in
aconomiatll~~ desperate areas. Ad a are seeing cn9•, in ;lfare and lo.s of jobs in thaw
conununitics resulting in more people ~~ithout m.ui~~~_c and a dacreaw in their ability- to
pay for medical care. I urge you to pass this ra,~~liui- n .u insure that th~ae crnnnnmitias
