PROGRAM HISTORY

The Native Hawaiian Health Care Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-579) authorized the establishment of health promotion, disease prevention and primary care services for Native Hawaiians or persons of Hawaiian ancestry. Organizing activities within Papa Ola Lokahi, the coordinating agency, began in September 1989 and continued throughout 1990. Service delivery grants to the five Native Hawaiian organizations, which serve nine islands, were awarded in fiscal year 1992. The Law was amended in 1992 under Public Law 102-396.
