Aloha ‘Ohana,
Here is an important statistic to keep in mind: did you know that over 1,000 women in Hawaii are diagnosed with breast cancer annually? It is the second most deadly cancer for women after lung cancer. Death rates are highest for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders. Early detection and treatment are key.
Know the warning signs:
- New lump in your breast or armpit
- Any swelling or thickening of your breast
- Irritation or dimpling of breast skin
- Redness or flaky skin on your breast
- Pain or pulling in of your nipple
- Nipple discharge (other than milk!)
- Change in size or shape of your breast
- Pain in any part of your breast
Self-checks and getting to a doctor right away can save your life.
Call us at 293-9231 for an appointment.

Did you know that we believe a community’s health isn’t just measured by access to medical care? It’s true. We believe that physical and mental health are critical elements for improving social well-being. Vibrant public spaces are essential community resources where people come together to play, learn, grow food, exercise, and relax.
At Ko’olauloa Health Center we work with local, public, and private partners to address those needs to improve community health outcomes within the Ko’olauloa area by improving opportunities for physical activity; increasing access to nutritious and affordable food; promoting public safety; and offering high-quality health care services.

- Examination of your child’s body, including height and weight, vision, and hearing.
- Answering your and your child’s questions.
- Providing physical, mental, and social advice.
- Administering necessary vaccinations.

Did you know that Ko’olauloa Health Center has a board-qualified podiatrist/foot & ankle surgeon on staff?
Yes, we do! Dr. Day runs our podiatry department which offers diagnosis and treatment of all disorders in the lower extremity. Dr. Day’s professional interests include trauma, advanced foot, and ankle reconstruction, podiatric orthopedics, sports medicine, diabetic care, and bunion correction.
Dr. Day believes in treating his patients like family, taking the time necessary to understand their needs. His patient-focused care allows him to work with his patients to achieve their specific goals while employing an evidence-based, yet individualized approach.
Born and raised on the North Shore of Oahu, Dr. Day graduated from Kahuku High School and earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Biology at Brigham Young University-Hawaii. He then pursued a Medical degree at Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine. Following graduation, he completed a 3-year podiatric medical and surgical residency at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation/Mercy Regional Health Medical Center in Cleveland Ohio, where he trained under several leaders in the field of podiatric surgery and served as chief resident during his last year.

Here are a few simple points on understanding your blood pressure.
What is blood pressure?: Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps it around your body.
Understanding the numbers: Blood pressure readings consist of two numbers - systolic (top number) and diastolic (bottom number). Systolic measures pressure when the heart beats, while diastolic measures pressure when the heart rests between beats.
Interpreting readings: Normal blood pressure is typically around 120/80 mmHg. Readings above this may indicate hypertension (high blood pressure), while readings below may indicate hypotension (low blood pressure). It’s important to understand where your readings fall.
Risk factors and lifestyle: Various factors such as diet, exercise, stress, and genetics can influence blood pressure. Understanding these factors and making appropriate lifestyle changes can help manage and maintain healthy blood pressure levels. Regular monitoring and consultation with a healthcare professional are crucial.
If you have any questions about your blood pressure or heart health, give us a call (808) 293-9231 or visit www.koolauloachc.org.
