Outer Pacific Committee

The Outer Pacific Committee is an Interagency Committee, chaired by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, Region 9.  We bring together staff working on programs in the U.S. Territories (American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam) and the Freely Associated States (The Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau).  The purpose of the group is to share information about federal programs affecting the communities and work on common issues.  For more information about the Outer Pacific and how they govern see, Outer Islands Formation, Governance, and Descriptions.
