Established from listening sessions across the UH System and the community, UHealthy Hawaiʻi focuses on four priority areas, as described below.
The Hawaiʻi Department of Health (DOH)-University of Hawaiʻi (UH) Contact Tracing Training Program is a partnership between the DOH and UH to train a supplemental contact tracing and community health worker (CHW) workforce to help the state respond to COVID-19.
