Through the use of Video Teleconferencing the VA is able to provide improved forms of healthcare for many veterans throughout the Pacific as well technical assistance with the clinical information system.

The U.S. Public Health Service is recognized for their recognition of telecommunications and information access as important to public health. This recognition preceded the formation of "telehealth" programs. The U.S. Public Health Service funded the Electronic Post Office Project which provides electronic mail servers and dial-up modems for health entities in the Western Pacific to have access to electronic mail (email) over the Internet. The servers will also support local Intranet information services as well. A very key aspect of this proposal is that it requires collaboration with the Emergency Management Network or other PEACESAT sites to obtain the communications link for Internet.

The American Samoa Distance Education, Learning and Telehealth Applications Consortium is made up of the American Samoa Government, American Samoa Departments of Commerce, Education, Public Safety, Treasury, Health and the Territorial Emergency Management Office and represents a concentrated movement towards the growth and development of telecommunications technology in the region. The introduction of video teleconferencing to the American Samoa healthcare industry has been valuable to local hospitals and treatment facilities in the form of off island referrals. The American Samoa Department of Education has also utilized video teleconferencing for many distance education classes as well as cultural exchanges.

With the assistance of the E-Rate program and NTIA the CNMI PSS is able to deliver distance learning programs over a network that provides video teleconferencing as well as Internet connectivity to all of the schools throughout the CNMI PSS. This was made possible through a consortium known as the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Partners in Distance Learning Network (CNMI PDLN) and consists of the Office of the Governor, Northern Marianas College, the Commonwealth Health Center, PREL and PEACESAT.

Initially, the Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) was one of the largest regional organizations that used PEACESAT to maintain communications with fisheries departments throughout the Pacific. In more recent years, FFA employs commercial telecommunications for data transfer.

As a member of the Guam Education NETwork (GENET) the Guam Department of Education (GDOE) is able to have all of the intermediate and high schools connected to each other in a large education network. This enables distance education programs to reach each of the schools for a diverse and technologically advanced educational platform.

The Pacific Basin Development Council is a non-profit corporation established in early 1980s by the Governors of the two American Territories of American Samoa and Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the State of Hawaii. PBDC addresses and articulates, through its Board of Directors, the economic and social development concerns of the Pacific Islands. PBDC also undertakes research and projects beneficial to the region.

PIHOA is the primary regional health organization in the Western Pacific. The members of the board are the Ministers or Directors of Health of American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. PIHOA and PEACESAT collaborated with the U.S. Public Health Service to develop the PEACESAT Electronic Post Office Project. The PIHOA Secretariat is based at the University of Hawaii.

PREL is an independent nonprofit with a focus on education and has a partnership with PEACESAT to provide a video teleconferencing network in each of the areas served by PREL. In the partnership PEACESAT provides the use of the GOES-7 satellite and PEACESAT earthstations and PREL provides the end-user equipment. Through the partnership with PEACESAT, PREL is able to carry out many different educational opportunities to PREL's service areas including American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia (Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei, and Yap), Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau.
