Improving the Our Care, Our Choice Act - virtual town hall TONIGHT

Posted over 5 years ago by John Paul Moses

Join us in supporting mirror bills: SB 2582 & HB 2451. Inspired by the HI DoH recommendations to the legislature, these bills would amend the Our Care, Our Choice Act to:
  • Remove the barrier preventing Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) from acting as the attending and consulting provider.
  • Allow the attending provider the authority to waive the mandatory minimum 20-day waiting period if the eligible patient is unlikely to survive the waiting period (patient must still qualify and go through the rest of the qualifying process).
  • Reduce the mandatory minimum 20-day waiting period to 15-days like the other authorized states have. 
We are hosting a Virtual Town Hall tomorrow evening at 5:30 pm HST to talk about these amendments to improve the law. Below is the call in information:
What: Virtual Town Hall on Improving the OCOCA (SB 2582 & HB 2451)
Where: By phone or computer:
