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.

It was such a pleasure to meet up with our community partner Tagata Monana Hui Foundation (TMHF) this weekend. The Tagata Moana Hui Foundation is a coalition of community health workers who are dedicated to connecting communities with resources and coordination events. TMHF works in partnership with agencies and organizations across the health and human services spectrum to ensure resources are accessible in culturally and linguistically appropriate ways. All of us at KHC are proud to support the Tagata Moana Hui Foundation!
Mahalo TMHF! Looking forward to doing more with the entire team in 2025.

Aloha ‘Ohana,
Today, Monday, August 5 - Health Care for People Experiencing Homelessness Day
Although all Community Health Centers provide care to vulnerable people in their communities – including some experiencing homelessness – more than 200 organizations receive targeted funding from the Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) program to meet the needs of those living without stable housing. Collectively, Community Health Centers, like Ko’olauloa Health Center, serve nearly 1.3 million individuals experiencing homelessness each year, a vast majority of whom seek care from HCH grantee organizations.
People who experience homelessness endure higher rates of chronic and acute disease, behavioral health conditions, and other needs that make them vulnerable to poor health, disability, and early death. HCH programs provide high-quality, comprehensive primary and behavioral health care, case management, and other supportive services to meet the needs of people who lack stable housing. Services focus on trauma-informed care practices that provide healing, choice, safety, and trust while empowering individuals as advocates in their own care.
The National Health Care for the Homeless Council works to improve the delivery of healthcare services to people experiencing homelessness by providing comprehensive technical assistance and advocacy support to HCH grantees. National Health Center Week is a time to honor and celebrate the work being done at HCH organizations and to advocate for policies that end homelessness by providing comprehensive housing as a basic human right.
