Did you know that if your plate looks like this when you’re eating, you’re doing something right!

Did you know each color of food has specific benefits? We’ve compiled a list of the different benefits tied to different colors to help you narrow your grocery list!

Red: Red foods are often rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals, support heart health, and help skin renewal.

Orange: Orange foods such as oranges and carrots are often high in vitamin C, work to boost immunity, support eye health, and can help reduce blood pressure.

Yellow: Foods like bananas, lemons, and yellow bell peppers, support digestion, boost immunity, and promote skin health.

Green: Green foods work to aid in tissue healing, detoxify the body, and support eye health.

Blue and purple: Foods like blueberries, blackberries, and eggplants boost memory, reduce inflammation, and protect against skin damage.

This holiday season eat a rainbow!

Meet Dr. Cecilia! Did you know that poor childhood access to dental care led to serious problems for KHC’s dentist, Cecilia Serrato, DMD. Fixing her mouth had such a positive impact on her life, that she was inspired to become a dentist and help others.

Dr. Serrato’s goal is caring for both pediatric and adult patients and preventing unnecessary dental pain.

Call 293-9231 to schedule a cleaning and get to know her.

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.

Aloha ‘Ohana,

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.

Did you know reading to children supports health and wellness?

Even though babies can’t understand everything you’re saying let alone read words, reading aloud is key to brain development needed for math, reading, and even emotional control. Because it’s social time, it’s a time for you to get closer to your baby.

Try to read out loud to your baby every day; before naps and bedtime are ideal. Have them snuggle in your lap when you’re reading to them. Read with enthusiasm. Vary the tone of your voice. You’re not limited to the words on the page. Ask questions. What’s going to happen next? Etc.

At Ko’olauloa Health Center we believe reading is so vital for wellness, that we have a program called Reach Out and Read. Each time your child comes for their visit between the ages of 6 months and 6 years, will receive a new book to add to their personal library. Speaking of libraries. If you don’t have a public library card, go get one! Picking out books with your child will build a lifetime of love for reading.

Concerned about your child’s reading or speaking? Let your primary care provider know. We can usually tell you if they’re on track or not, and if we have any doubts, we can refer your child to the right specialist to figure out the issue and get the needed treatment.

Keiki and adults alike need to stay on schedule for regular wellness visits. Call us today for an appointment. We are always accepting new patients regardless of insurance or ability to pay.

Visit www.koolauloachc.org or call (808) 293-9231 for more information.

if you haven’t gotten your flu vaccine, this is the time because it’s National Influenza Vaccination Week.

The annual observance observed the first week of December, serves as a reminder for everyone six months and older that there is still time to get vaccinated against flu. This year’s flu season began early and has been more severe.

Mahalo!

Our friendly pharmacy team is ready to serve customers looking for a convenient alternative to Foodland Laie’s closed pharmacy. Even if you are not a patient with us, you are still able to fill prescriptions at Ko’olauloa Health Center.

Unlike most retail pharmacies, Ko’olauloa Health Center makes medications affordable with a sliding scale for uninsured patients.

Ko’olauloa Health Center’s free consultation services by our friendly pharmacist include 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.

Ko’olauloa Pharmacy also offers their patients: shorter wait times for medications; one-stop convenience with the pharmacy co-located at Ko’olauloa Health Center’s Kahuku Clinic right next to the hospital; complimentary pill organizers and pill cutters; and of course personalized friendly service because at KHC you’re ‘ohana.

Ko’olauloa Health Center’s providers and pharmacists work as a team to keep you and your family well! If you live in Laie or Kahuku, come fill your next prescription with one of Ko’olauloa Health Center’s providers.
