A common data and care coordination platform <br /> 2. The Accountable Health Communities Health Related Needs Screening Tool <br /> 3. A community QA committee for case studies across medical and social service <br /> providers <br /> 4. Exception funding for critical, unmet needs. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to support this grant and we are excited to see this <br /> project funded. <br /> Si rely, <br /> ", Xja.%.-I <br /> Harry Kim <br /> Mayor <br /> County of Hawaf i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
