Waianae Coast Mental Health Update

Maile has introduced HCR 223, REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO CONDUCT A COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL AND MANAGEMENT AUDIT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH'S COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH CENTER AND WAI`ANAE'S INDEPENDENTLY OPERATED COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH CENTER.
The measure is moving through the House, and will hopefully cross over to the Senate for their consideration.

Further, the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center recently submitted testimony to the State Council on Mental Health describing the severe negative impact the state's funding cuts to mental health services has had on the Waianae Coast. To view WCCHC's testimony, click here.
