University Health Partners of Hawaii – Native Hawaiian Health

About

The Dept. of Native Hawaiian Health (NHH) is the only clinical department in an accredited U.S. medical school specifically dedicated to improving the health of an indigenous people, Native Hawaiians. NHH embraces multi-disciplinary approaches to address health disparities experienced by Native Hawaiians and other groups. The program integrates the biomedical, behavioral, psychosocial, and public health sciences with Hawaiian cultural knowledge and wisdom. It applies these sciences and Hawaiian cultural knowledge to its three divisions, which are supported by an administrative structure: Research, Medical Education, and Clinical Teaching and Patient Care Services. Each division has a demonstrated track record of strong community outreach.
