RESOLUTION
URGING THE LEGISLATURE TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR THE HAWAII HEALTH
SYSTEMS CORPORATION PRIMARY CARE TRAINING PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, the State of Hawaii is facing a severe shortage of health care
providers, especially in primary care; and
WHEREAS, the John A. Burns School of Medicine estimates that in 2012 the
State of Hawaii had a shortage of 635 physicians including a shortage of 291 physicians
on Oahu, and that the statewide shortage is expected to increase to 1,600 by 2020; and
WHEREAS, the Hawaii Health Systems Corporation Primary Care Training
Program is a statewide program administered by Hilo Medical Center; and
WHEREAS, the Primary Care Training Program provides training for advanced
practice nurses from the School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene at the University of
Hawaii at Manoa and the School of Nursing at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, clinical
pharmacists from the University of Hawaii at Hilo College of Pharmacy, and post-
doctoral fellows from I Ola Lahui, an organization that trains psychologists to meet the
needs of those living in rural areas; and
WHEREAS, the success of the program's training model, which is expected to be
expanded to neighbor island health facilities, will create interdisciplinary teams capable
of caring for many more patients, helping to alleviate the physician shortage; and
WHEREAS, the health care needs of the State of Hawaii, including the City and
County of Honolulu, will suffer without assistance from the State Legislature; now,
therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City and County of Honolulu that the
Hawaii State Legislature is urged to appropriate $2,800,000 for the Hawaii Health
Systems Corporation Primary Care Training Program for the fiscal year 2013-2014, and
the same sum for the fiscal year 2014-2015; and
