Opening General Session featuring Governor Josh Green, M.D.

Governor Josh Green, M.D.

Governor Josh Green, M.D., is a dedicated husband, father, physician, and the ninth Governor of Hawaii. Raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he earned degrees in biology and anthropology from Swarthmore College and his M.D. from Penn State. After completing his residency in Family Practice, he was awarded a National Health Service Corps scholarship and chose to serve the underserved community of Ka‘u on Hawaii Island.

From an early age, Governor Green understood the transformative impact of access to quality healthcare. As a family physician and emergency room doctor, he became an integral part of the rural communities he served, witnessing firsthand the challenges local families faced—from the high cost of living and lack of affordable housing, to mental health struggles and addiction. These experiences inspired him to seek solutions through public service.

Governor Green began his political career in the Hawai‘i State House of Representatives (2004-2008) and later served in the State Senate (2008-2018), where he held leadership roles such as Majority Floor Leader and Chair of the Health and Human Services Committee. His legislative accomplishments include championing health insurance for every child in Hawai‘i, passing “Luke’s Law” to provide autism coverage, spearheading the creation of the Cancer Research Center, and enacting groundbreaking anti-tobacco legislation to raise the legal purchase age to 21. He also played a key role in establishing Hawai‘i’s statewide trauma healthcare system.
