The subject matter of <br /> <br />the presentation discusses the social determinants of health, which are the economic and <br />  <br />social conditions that influence the health of individuals, communities and jurisdictions as a <br />  <br />whole. They determine the extent to which a person possesses the physical, social, and <br />  <br />personal resources to identify and achieve personal aspirations, satisfy needs, and cope with <br />  <br />the environment. The resources include but are not limited to conditions for early childhood <br />  <br />development; education, employment, and work; food security, health services, housing, <br /> <br /> <br />income, and income distribution; social exclusion; the social safety net; unemployment and <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />job security. The presentation also highlighted the health disparities of Hawaii County. <br /> <br /> <br />The Action Committee discussion ensued focusing on how land use planning can improve <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />health. All agreed the decisions made in the KCDP are moving in the right direction with <br /> <br /> <br />pedestrian friendly villages, jobs closer to homes and closer knit communities. <br /> <br /> <br />Website: www.unnaturalcauses.org <br /> <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br /> <br />Old Kailua Airport Park Master Plan. <br /> <br /> <br />The Action Committee discussed a comment letter to the Department of Parks and Recreation <br /> Motion made <br /> <br /> <br />regarding the Old Kailua Airport Park Master Plan Environmental Assessment (EA). <br />tm; <br />šE <br /> <br />
