Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Health, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 140, S.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request Leahi Hospital to develop a master plan and financial feasibility report for its existing campus that will take advantage of its unique location and relationships in east Honolulu.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Hawaii Health Systems Corporation and one individual.

Your Committee finds that the existing campus of Leahi Hospital needs to be revitalized in order to achieve its vision as a Geriatric Center of Excellence. To achieve this goal the master plan and financial feasibility report, addressing all future on-campus construction, activities, and services, need to be completed.

Your Committee further finds that in order to develop an adequate master plan and financial feasibility report, financing of $150,000.00 would be recommended.

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 S.C.R. No. 140, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.
