Webinar - Navigating the Rural Healthcare Landscape in Hawaiʻi

Join Hawaiʻi Young Healthcare Professionals (HYHP) for an interactive virtual session on what rural healthcare looks like across our islands today and how we can advocate for real change. We're excited to feature John Desfor, Project Coordinator for the Hawaiʻi State Rural Health Association and Data & Policy Analyst at the UH Rural Health Research and Policy Center. Living in Kaʻū on Hawaiʻi Island, John brings firsthand experience alongside a deep background in rural health research, including his previous work with the Rural Policy and Research Institute under Dr. Keith Mueller. He'll share fresh insights on Hawaiʻi’s unique rural health challenges, breakdown what the Rural Health Transformation Act means for our state, highlight pressing needs around vulnerable populations, and give both clinical and non-clinical pros practical tools to speak up for our communities.
