The holidays are a great opportunity to enjoy time with family and friends, to celebrate life, to be grateful, and to reflect on what’s important. They are also a time to appreciate – and safeguard – the gift of health.

“The holiday season is a time to reflect on family and friends, but don’t forget to take time to care for yourself,” said CDC Director Robert R. Redfield. “We wish you a healthy and happy New Year, and send along some reminders on how best to keep you and your family well this winter.”

Here are some holiday tips to support your efforts for health and safety during the season.

Here are a few Holiday Wellnes tips from our that will boost your brain health during this (sometimes) stressful time.

Hope everyone has a happy and healthy holiday week!

#bewell #staywell #brainhealth

Aloha ‘Ohana - we hope everyone is doing great on this holiday season. This season we were thinking of our community’s keiki and how we can continue to be a positive influence.

Going back to basics - Words Matter…

Certainly, words can become meaningless when they aren’t followed with action, but nonetheless, words have great power. You can choose to add more positive ones to your days.

What phrases do you say each day to your children?
Which ones do you want them to remember?
What do you say that will stay with your children for the rest of their lives?

Coming up with a few encouraging words for kids or positive phrases to say may tip the scales towards the kindness you want your keiki to imitate.

Here is an abbreviated list of things to say to your children that may inspire you*

- You are loved
- You make me smile
- I think about you when we’re apart
- My world is better with you in it
- I will do my best to keep you safe
- Sometimes I will say no
- I have faith in you
- I know you can handle it
- You are creative
- Trust your instincts
- Your ideas are worthwhile
- You are capable
- You are deserving
- You are strong

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.

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.
