Do No Harm, a conservative group, wants the scholarship, which has helped islands’ underserved communities, declared unconstitutional
Doctors and health experts in Hawaii say a decades-old federal program meant to support Native Hawaiians through medical school and better serve some of the islands’ most underserved communities is under attack after a conservative group filed suit.
For more than 35 years, hundreds of medical students have received support under the Native Hawaiian Health Scholarship Program and, to give back, worked in underserved areas on the islands in the following years.
