Hawaiʻi’s rural communities have limited access to emergency medical services as well as reliable or affordable transportation options to access primary care and specialized healthcare services. These issues are particularly prominent for pregnant mothers. To address these needs, the University of Hawaiʻi Rural Health Research and Policy Center (UH RHRPC) designed and conducted a four-part project on the topic, entitled “The Impacts of Transportation and Travel Access on Rural Health in Hawaiʻi.”

Join this one hour webinar to learn more about the report’s findings, followed by a live Q&A session.
