The University of Hawaiʻi's Commitment to a Healthier Hawaiʻi and Pacific
The UH System has significant health sciences programs that collectively play an essential role in educating Hawaiʻi’s health workforce
and addressing the health challenges facing Hawaiʻi and the Pacific.
Established from listening sessions across the UH System and the community, UHealthy Hawaiʻi focuses on four priority areas, as described below.
UHealthy Hawaiʻi is pleased to have the support of numerous UH and community partners.
