Flu or Covid?

Aloha ‘Ohana,

Did you know that three viruses are sending both children and adults to emergency rooms across the U.S. this winter: Covid is making a comeback because of new immune-evasive variants, and flu and the respiratory syncytial virus are spreading at record rates.

Most people were able to avoid flu and RSV while much of the population was taking steps to slow the spread of Covid. Now, our immunity to these viruses may have waned.

"You can get really sick, perhaps more so than you would have normally because your immune system really hasn't been challenged as much recently," said Dr. Priya Soni, a pediatric infectious disease specialist.

So, how do you know if you or your children have one of these viruses? We've created an interactive guide to help you identify your symptoms - and what to do to confirm and treat the various infections. (If your symptoms are severe or if you test positive for Covid, call (808) 293-9231 or visit www.koolauloachc.org to set up an appointment).

Keiki Dental

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.

Learn more about proper keiki dental at Ko’olauloa Health Center.

Nurse Practitioner Week

Aloha ‘Ohana!

Did you know that this week is National Nurse Practitioner Week?

Nurse Practitioner Week takes place annually in the second week of November to recognize these incredible healthcare providers and raise awareness of the powerful role they play in ensuring general health and well-being.

Can you believe that the nurse practitioner profession has been in existence for 56 years now? Nurse practitioners are highly educated and trained medical professionals who are almost like doctors. In addition to their fundamental roles as registered nurses, they can provide primary care, counseling, and diagnosis, offer health education and write prescriptions.

Let's celebrate all of our Ko’olauloa nurse practitioners this week together! Mahalo!
