According to a report from the Hawaii Workforce Development Council, Hawaii will need approximately 20 percent more health care workers in the next decade to help with Hawaii's aging population. The report note that the state is in short supply of physicians, specialty nurses, physical therapists, health information technologists and other primary care occupations. Taken directly from the report, "Currently, the state of Hawaii suffers significant, widening health disparities, many of which could be solved by expanding the primary care and support work force. The indigenous population, rural residents, homeless families and recent immigrants are the most likely to have unmet health care needs."
