The Health section in this page is relatively thin and lacks sources. Here are some improvements that I'm thinking about making. I'm hesitant to do them myself because I'm still new to Wikipedia, so if someone else wants to take on the task that would be amazing.

These papers (linked below) deal with issues relating to Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders and their experience with health care in the state of Hawaii. Might be a good idea to mention this as currently the "Health" section is a bit overly optimistic.

Also, the article only talks about the healthcare system in Hawaii, whereas most other US state health sections discuss the general public health of the state. I think Hawaii would have some interesting insights to add to this article. I'll link some possible resources below
