An interview with Dr. Wilfred Alik from the One Stop Center for Micronesians on Hawai‘i Island.
The One Stop Center was originally formed after the restoration of Medicaid access to citizens of the Compact of Free Association (COFA) nations to help Micronesians in Hawai‘i sign up for Medicaid coverage. The organization's goal is to empower the diverse Micronesian communities on Hawai‘i island to become their own advocates. In this interview, Dr. Alik shares not only how One Stop Center supports Micronesians in Hawai’i but also the history behind why people from the Marshall Islands, Palau, and the Federated States of Micronesia are coming to Hawai’i and the rights they have through the COFA.
