Health
Mental and physical health is integral to our well-being as individuals and communities. We aim to help readers better understand what resources are available and how health intersects with one’s social and economic conditions so that they can make informed decisions about their lives. We also seek to explore access to care, efforts to address health inequities, and uplift people’s lived experiences and voices.

Behind the Story
It's all connected.
The issues shaping our islands — from housing and water to education, environment, and health — are not separate stories. They are connected through people, place, history, and the systems that influence our daily lives.
HCJ traces those connections. We look beyond single events or headlines to understand how decisions ripple across communities and generations, and how solutions emerge from interwoven relationships across Hawaiʻi.
