Papa Ola Lokahi has completed the update of the 1986 E Ola Mau (EOM) health needs assessment and is calling it E Ola Mau a Mau. The original EOM report is the basis for the Native Hawaii Health Care Act which was passed by Congress in 1988. Papa Ola Lokahi and the Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems were established as a result and they continue to work to improve the health and well-being of the Native Hawaiian people.
Learning Objectives:
1. Review the findings and outcomes of the 2018 E Ola Mau a Mau report.
2. Summarize progress made since 1985 in improving the Native Hawaiian Health.
3. Discuss the recommendations and strategies to improve Native Hawaiian health and well-being (Mauli Ola).

Every penny you contribute stays right here in Hawai‘i.
The tobacco industry spends more than $25 million each year in Hawai‘i marketing their products to kids while sugary drink manufacturers pay fitness bloggers and researchers to promote diets that include soda. These industries care about one thing and one thing only: profit. That’s where we come in. We, and our coalitions, work every day to stop them in their tracks. We shine a light on their bad acts and we fight for policies that promote health for all Hawai’i residents and visitors. Your gift allows us to do more… and it is tax-deductible!
