Did you know anyone can get prescriptions filled at KHC’s 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.

Here are a few simple points on understanding your blood pressure during February American Heart Health Month.

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.

February is American Heart Month and focusing on your heart health has never been more important. Here are a few tips to work on:

- Stop smoking. It is a very difficult thing to quit, but you will reap the benefits for years to come. Your primary care physicians are happy to assist you with this, including medications, patches, or talking through it.

- Focus on eating healthy. Eat foods low in saturated fats and sodium and increase your intake of fruits and vegetables.

- Move more. Not getting enough physical activity puts you at higher risk for heart disease and stroke. Try to increase your daily activity. Pressed for time? Try doing 10 minutes of activity, three times a day.

- Visit your primary care provider regularly to have your blood pressure and cholesterol checked regularly and help prevent heart disease.

Make heart health a part of your self-care routine with these tips from our staff at KHC. Give us a call at (808) 293-9231 to learn more or visit www.koolauloachc.org

When you think about February, you may think: Valentine’s Day, chocolate, love, or maybe anything that’s anti those things. But, one thing to remember this month is our HEARTS, because February is American Heart Month.

While your heart works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, how often do you think about it? And how often do you take action to protect the health of your heart? Now’s the time to really start thinking about how you can take better care of yourself.

Heart disease and other cardiovascular issues are on the rise. Many factors can contribute to health issues, but you also have ways you can be proactive about your health. You may think it won’t happen to you, but you never know.

Being informed is important. Learn warning signs and symptoms of heart-related issues. Get in touch with your KHC provider by calling (808) 293-9231 or visit www.koolauloachc.orgto schedule an appointment - especially if heart disease runs in your family. Start with small daily actions to help reduce or prevent your risk of developing heart problems.

Take care and have a healthy and happy week ahead!

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:

#holidaywellness #americanheartassociation #hearthealth #koolauloahealthcenter

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.
