KOKUA: Kupuna Outreach and Knowledge in Underserved Areas

Home / Projects / KOKUA: Kupuna Outreach and Knowledge in Underserved Areas

This project will address the “wicked problem” of a lack of geriatric specialty care services in Hawai’i’s Neighbor Islands. This project will have a 3-pronged approach:

  1. Improve community geriatric knowledge via interprofessional tele-education to reach the existing and incoming primary care workforce;
  2. Transformation of a traditional rural primary care clinic system into an age-friendly system; and
  3. Dissemination of training resources, action plans, and other materials to other rural primary care clinics.
