This week is National Nurses Week (May 6 – May 12), and to honor these remarkably dedicated health professionals I’d like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to them for the difference they make in all of our lives.
Nurses do so much more than tend to our physical needs. They care for our emotional ones as well by treating the whole person with compassion and a good ear. They not only see the patient's physical wounds, but they also see a human being with deeper needs.
In the world of today’s health care, that is no ordinary feat!
So the next time you’re at our Kahuku clinic reach out and say mahalo - it will mean a lot!

Mahalo @essnaccesshlth for the kind words! We see you!
Essential Access Health’s wonderful post:
“We share Ko'olauloa's belief that health care is a right, not a privilege. We were inspired to hear how #TitleX funding supports their capacity to ensure that patients living in this rural region receive the contraceptive method that is right for them, supporting their individual and ohana health, and the piece of mind that access to essential health care brings. Mahalo to the amazing team at Ko'olauloa, you are super stars in your community!”

Here are a few simple points on understanding your blood pressure.
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.

We can all do more to be kind to the planet and each other.
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.

When you hear the word “physical,” you may think of 'hanabata' days when you had to visit the doctor to get shots for school. But a physical is more than just shots or a physical exam. And both children AND adults can benefit from attending regular physicals.
You may feel fine, but catching problems BEFORE they become serious means: Finding a problem when it is easier to treat (such as diabetes, heart disease, or cancer). Saving you money, and potentially saving your life.
Call (808) 293-9231 or visit www.koolauloachc.org/yearly-physicals to learn more or schedule an appointment.
