With summer, beach days, and picnics right around the corner, it's time to take care of our skin. Make sure you reach out to your doctor if you notice changes in your skin such as a new growth, a sore that doesn’t heal, a change in a mole, or any of the ABCDEs of melanoma (as seen in the illustration above).
If you have any questions about how to take care of your family’s skin this summer call (808) 293-9231 or visit www.koolauloachc.org to schedule an appointment. We look forward to seeing you at the beach!

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.
Learn more about KHC’s services and how we can help you at www.koolauloachc.org.

Here is a simple wellness tip from our staff.
When everyday 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:
1. Inhale through your notes for four counts.
2. Then hold that breath for seven counts.
3. Then exhale through your mouth (slowly) for eight counts.

The other week Ko'olauloa Health Center staff led a free health assessment for Hau'ula Elementary staff members. Medical assistants conducted screening for weight, blood pressure, and blood sugar. Medical providers then reviewed results with each staff member and completed a diabetes risk assessment if needed. Those who qualified were invited to sign up for our CDC Diabetes Prevention Program. Finally a front office staff member was on hand to answer any insurance related questions.

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!

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.

What is a “well-child visit”? Even if your child is not sick, regular visits to the doctor provide important information and treatments to help your child grow up healthy. These visits to the doctor are free of charge.
KHC’s well-child visit for children includes:
- 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.
- Making referrals to specialists if needed.
Contact Dr. Danielle Lum to schedule your keiki’s well-child vist.
