URGING MAUI HEALTH SYSTEM TO COLLABORATE WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO ESTABLISH A FULL-TIME MEDICAL RESIDENCY PROGRAM ON THE ISLAND OF MAUI.

Summary

The Hawaii House passed a concurrent resolution calling on Maui Health System, the Hawaii Rural Health Transformation Plan, the John A. Burns School of Medicine, and local health centers to collaborate on establishing a full‑time residency program on the island. The measure aims to alleviate Maui’s acute physician shortages, which were worsened by the 2023 wildfires, by encouraging use of available federal Rural Health Transformation funding and other resources. It also requires the health system to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature before the 2027 regular session.
