The State House of Representatives Health and Human Services Committee and the State Senate Health Committee are having joint informational hearing on the services available to our kupuna and their caregivers. That includes the Kupuna Caregivers Program.

Several advocacy groups, nonprofits, and government agencies have been invited to present to the committee and at the conclusion of the presentations and discussion the Committees will reserve the final 10 to 15 minutes to highlight the top three priorities to ensure efficient and robust Kupuna services, seeking to eliminate silos and disconnection between service providers, government, and the Kupuna and family caregivers.

The committee will not take public testimony, but sometimes they do ask for public input, time pending, of the audience.
