Aloha ‘Ohana,

Did you know that rates of asthma among Ko’olauloa’s keiki are 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!

Did you know that Ko’olauloa Health Center has a board-qualified podiatrist/foot & ankle surgeon on staff?

Yes, we do! Dr. Day runs our podiatry department which offers diagnosis and treatment of all disorders in the lower extremity. Dr. Day’s professional interests include trauma, advanced foot, and ankle reconstruction, podiatric orthopedics, sports medicine, diabetic care, and bunion correction.

Dr. Day believes in treating his patients like family, taking the time necessary to understand their needs. His patient-focused care allows him to work with his patients to achieve their specific goals while employing an evidence-based, yet individualized approach.

Born and raised on the North Shore of Oahu, Dr. Day graduated from Kahuku High School and earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Biology at Brigham Young University-Hawaii. He then pursued a Medical degree at Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine. Following graduation, he completed a 3-year podiatric medical and surgical residency at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation/Mercy Regional Health Medical Center in Cleveland Ohio, where he trained under several leaders in the field of podiatric surgery and served as chief resident during his last year.

If you or someone you love is experiencing challenges with their lower extremities, give us a call at (808) 293-9231 or reach out via our website:

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

Happy Halloween! Here are a few common sense Halloween tips from our Dental Department as. your keiki head out to trick-or-treat this evening:

1. Don’t go batty for the candy! Of course, as your Ko’olauloa area dentists, we would prefer you not have so many sugary sweets. The key is moderation.

2. When in doubt throw it out! Make sure your keiki understands that no one eats any candy at all until back home. There it is best to empty your trick-or-treat bag on a table and overlook each piece. Anything that is open, damaged, or just odd looking should be thrown out.

If you have any questions regarding your keiki’s dental health, please call us at (808) 293-9231.

Mahalo and have a safe and fun Halloween!

- 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!)
