Support community health centers, telemedicine and other health care components of greater utility in island state
I will support community health centers, telemedicine, and other health care components that are especially useful in island states.
Occurrences
Evidence
Case said FY2027 CPF approvals include $1.9 million for Wai‘anae Coast Comprehensive Health Center’s Waipahu Clinic Expansion Project, $1 million for Kalihi Palama Health Center’s emergency resilience and renovation work, and $395,000 for Waikīkī Health Center upgrades.
In his June 8 district newsletter, Case said he had prepared a Health Care summary of what he has done and is doing, and described continuing work on health-related cost drivers and appropriations.
Assessments
Case receives direct credit in his current federal term for materially supporting community health centers through district-specific appropriations, including multiple FY2027 community project funding approvals for health centers in Hawaii's 1st District. That satisfies a meaningful part of the promise. However, the record provided does not show comparable delivery on telemedicine or other island-state-specific health care components, so the full promise is not established as delivered.
