Aloha ‘Ohana,

Here is an important PSA from the DOH. The Hawaii Department of Health and Hawaiian Humane Society are urging residents and recovery workers to monitor for signs of leptospirosis in the aftermath of the Kona low storm floods.

Leptospirosis is a potentially serious bacterial illness that can affect both people and pets. It is caused by Leptospira, which is carried in the urine of infected animals, including rats, mice, mongoose, livestock, and dogs.

We have an important Health PSA from our friends at the Department of Health. All of our recent wet weather increases rat lungworm risk. Please protect your 'ohana by eliminating snails, slugs and rats near your home and thoroughly inspecting and rinsing produce.

Aloha ‘Ohana,

Here is a great message from our friends at the Hawaii Department of Health:

Devoting some time every day to care for yourself can go a long way toward protecting your heart health. Self-care, like moving more, preparing healthier meals, getting enough quality sleep, and taking a moment to de-stress, helps your heart.

Call (808) 293-9231 or visit www.koolauloachc.org to make an appointment to learn more about taking care of yourself or scheduling your physical.

Here is an important PSA from our friends at Surfrider Foundation and the Department of Health.

** HIGH BACTERIA LEVELS DETECTED **

What this means:

These tests measure enterococcus bacteria which is a sign of human or animal waste in the water

When levels go above 130, the risk of getting sick increases

That can include:

  • stomach illness

  • skin infections

  • ear/sinus infections

  • more serious infections in some cases

This doesn't mean you will get sick. But it DOES mean the risk is higher especially: after heavy rain , near stream outlets in brown or murky water.

(that's when runoff + contamination gets pushed into the ocean)

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.
