Better Coordination Could Improve The Provision Of Federal Health Care in Hawaii

Abstract

Three Federal agencies--the Department of Defense; Veterans Administration; and Department of Health, Education, and Welfare's Public Health Service--provide health care to about 230,000 Federal beneficiaries in Hawaii. Although Federal health care generally is readily accessible to those eligible for such care, better use could be made of Federal health care facilities in the State. The planned major renovation and construction project at Tripler Army Medical Center offers a unique opportunity for the Government to design a facility that will more closely meet the health care needs of all Federal beneficiaries in Hawaii.
