Did you know anyone can get prescriptions filled at KHC’s Kahuku pharmacy?

We might be able to save you money, too! KHC patients can be eligible for discounts and we have sliding scale pricing for the uninsured.

Our friendly pharmacist offers free medication reconciliation — discussing each individual medication, what it is used for (indication), instructions for administration, how it works within the body, anticipated side effects and most importantly, possible interactions with other medications you might already be taking.

We also have complimentary pill boxes and cutters, if you need them.

Give us a call at 293-9231 if you have any questions or would like to setup an appointment. You can also learn more at: www.koolauloachc.org.

This week is National Nurses Week (May 6 – May 12), and to honor these remarkably dedicated health professionals I’d like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to them for the difference they make in all of our lives.

Nurses do so much more than tend to our physical needs. They care for our emotional ones as well by treating the whole person with compassion and a good ear. They not only see the patient's physical wounds, but they also see a human being with deeper needs.

In the world of today’s health care, that is no ordinary feat!

So the next time you’re at our Kahuku clinic reach out and say mahalo - it will mean a lot!

Mahalo @essnaccesshlth for the kind words! We see you!

Essential Access Health’s wonderful post:

“We share Ko'olauloa's belief that health care is a right, not a privilege. We were inspired to hear how #TitleX funding supports their capacity to ensure that patients living in this rural region receive the contraceptive method that is right for them, supporting their individual and ohana health, and the piece of mind that access to essential health care brings. Mahalo to the amazing team at Ko'olauloa, you are super stars in your community!”

Meet Dr. Cecilia! Did you know that poor childhood access to dental care led to serious problems for KHC's dentist, Cecilia Serrato, DMD. Fixing her mouth had such a positive impact on her life, that she was inspired to become a dentist and help others.

Dr. Serrato's goal is caring for both pediatric and adult patients and preventing unnecessary dental pain.

Call 293-9231 to schedule a cleaning and get to know her.

Aloha ‘Ohana,

Did you know that the American Dental Association says that every child should visit a dentist by age 1?

The sooner children begin getting regular dental checkups, the healthier their mouths will stay throughout their lives. Early checkups help prevent cavities and tooth decay, which can lead to pain, trouble concentrating, and other medical issues. Youngsters with healthy teeth chew food easily, learn to speak clearly, and smile with confidence.

The American Dental Association says that every child should visit a dentist by age 1 – or as soon as the first tooth appears. This “well-baby visit” teaches parents and caregivers how to care for their children’s teeth and help them remain cavity-free.

Learn more about proper keiki dental at Ko’olauloa Health Center.
