When you hear the word “physical,” you may think of ‘hanabata’ days when you had to visit the doctor to get shots for school. But a physical is more than just shots or a physical exam. And both children AND adults can benefit from attending regular physicals.
You may feel fine, but catching problems BEFORE they become serious means: Finding a problem when it is easier to treat (such as diabetes, heart disease, or cancer). Saving you money, and potentially saving your life.
Call (808) 293-9231 or visit www.koolauloachc.org/yearly-physicals to learn more or schedule an appointment.

Aloha ‘Ohana,
Did you know that the volcanic haze (vog) from the current Big Island eruption has reached Oahu and may affect your keiki if they have asthma? This is a particular concern since Ko’olauloa’s keiki experience asthma rates 50% higher than the state average.
Asthma Awareness is critical, so let’s keep in mind that asthma sufferers are especially sensitive to changes in air quality and climate.
KHC can help you regain control of your asthma. If you or a family member is suffering from asthma (or any other health concern), call us at 293-9231. We are always accepting new patients regardless of insurance or ability to pay.
Mahalo!

Did you know that did Martin Luther King Jr. saw Hawaii as a “noble example” of racial harmony? This was why Dr. King wore a Hawaiian lei during the Selma to Montgomery marches.
During the third and final Selma to Montgomery march that began on March 21, 1965, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights protesters were seen leading the crowd of thousands wearing a Hawaiian lei as a symbol of affection, and more generally as a gesture of love. The garlands were organized to be sent to Dr. King as a symbolic action of support and solidarity by Reverend Abraham Akaka, clergyman, and Kahu of Kawaiahaʻo Church.
On this Martin Luther King day let’s all stand together to support one another.

In celebration of Martin Luther King Day tomorrow, we remember this powerful quote:
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of convenience and comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
From his 1963 book, Strength to Love.

Did you know reading to children supports health and wellness?
Even though babies can’t understand everything you’re saying let alone read words, reading aloud is key to brain development needed for math, reading, and even emotional control. Because it’s social time, it’s a time for you to get closer to your baby.
Try to read out loud to your baby every day; before naps and bedtime are ideal. Have them snuggle in your lap when you’re reading to them. Read with enthusiasm. Vary the tone of your voice. You’re not limited to the words on the page. Ask questions. What’s going to happen next? Etc.
At Ko’olauloa Health Center we believe reading is so vital for wellness, that we have a program called Reach Out and Read. Each time your child comes for their visit between the ages of 6 months and 6 years, will receive a new book to add to their personal library. Speaking of libraries. If you don’t have a public library card, go get one! Picking out books with your child will build a lifetime of love for reading.
Concerned about your child’s reading or speaking? Let your primary care provider know. We can usually tell you if they’re on track or not, and if we have any doubts, we can refer your child to the right specialist to figure out the issue and get the needed treatment.
Keiki and adults alike need to stay on schedule for regular wellness visits. Call us today for an appointment. We are always accepting new patients regardless of insurance or ability to pay.
Visit www.koolauloachc.org or call (808) 293-9231 for more information.

When the holiday stress hits, try 4-7-8 breathing. Breathing is an essential act that requires no thought. But thinking about it can alter your physical and mental health. It can relieve stress and anxiety or help you wind down and fall asleep. Here’s how to do it:
