The Red Hill Registry, facilitated by the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>, seeks community participants for upcoming two-hour virtual focus groups to help guide the development of the registry. The Red Hill Registry will connect those impacted by the Red Hill water crisis to resources and track health impacts over time. The registry is currently in an intensive planning and community engagement stage, and planned to formally launch for enrollment in mid 2025.<\/p>\n

Virtual focus groups of community participants will be held from November 21 through 26<\/strong>, and will include separate sessions for impacted community members, concerned residents of Oʻahu<\/span> who were not directly exposed, and professionals who responded to the crisis or provided support to those affected.<\/p>\n

“We are committed to co-designing the registry with the community, including by asking key questions in these focus groups,” said Tara Sutton, director of community engagement for the Red Hill Registry. “We seek to understand what resources the community would like the registry to offer and how the registry can best operate to meet community needs.”<\/p>\n
