RE:   H.C.R. No. 89

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2007

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 89 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII TO EXTEND ITS CURRENT LAND LEASE WITH LEAHI HOSPITAL TO FACILITATE THE EFFECTIVE PLANNING, DEVELOPMENT, AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A CAMPUS-WIDE MASTER PLAN FOR LONG-TERM HEALTH CARE SERVICES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to create opportunities and an infrastructure that will facilitate alternative community-based programs that would be comprehensive, prevent institutionalization, and effectively contain rising long-term care costs by urging the University of Hawaii to extend its current land lease agreement with Leahi Hospital.

 

     Leahi Hospital, AARP – Hawaii, and Assisted Living Options Hawaii supported this concurrent resolution.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 89 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Higher Education.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
