KHC Pharmacy

Aloha ‘Ohana!

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.

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

Let's Have Some Fun!

Aloha ‘Ohana,

Some of you had questions regarding our upcoming Diabetes Prevention Program. Here is a short FAQ to help give you a few answers.

Diabetes Prevention Program FAQ

Who?
Adults 18+ years old who have prediabetes are found to be at risk for diabetes using a Diabetes Risk Assessment.

What?
A lifestyle change program that is proven to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. As a part of a group within the community, you will work with a trained lifestyle coach to learn the skills you need to make lasting lifestyle changes.

When?
We are aiming to start a cohort by the end of May 2023. With enough interest, we will be able to start additional cohorts in the future.

Where?
Classes will be held in person within the Ko’olauloa community.

Why?
Over 40% of Hawaii adults have prediabetes, but most do NOT know that they have it. Most cases of type 2 diabetes can be prevented by making small lifestyle changes.

Cost
FREE. You do NOT need to be a Ko’olauloa Health Center patient to participate.

Annual Physical

Aloha ‘Ohana!

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.

Aloha Med-QUEST 'Ohana!

Aloha Med-QUEST ‘Ohana!

If you haven’t already, please be on the lookout for a PINK letter from Hawaii’s Med-QUEST Division. Over the next year through March 2024, Med-QUEST will be sending their members a letter that contains eligibility renewal information. Not all members will receive their pink letters at the same time. This pink letter may require a response in order to maintain health coverage.

Be sure to read the letter and follow all instructions, if applicable.
In preparation for this renewal period, Med-QUEST asks members to do the following:

- Be sure to update your contact information by logging into your account on Medical.mybenefits.hawaii.gov or by calling the Health Plan number on the back of your insurance card.

- If you no longer need QUEST (Medicaid) coverage, call them at 1-800-316-8005, to let them know.

- If you need coverage but no longer qualify for Med-QUEST, please check with your employer to see if you are eligible for health insurance coverage.

- If you are not eligible for health insurance through your employer, please visit the Health Insurance Marketplace at HealthCare.Gov or by calling 1-800-318-2596 to make sure you stay well and stay covered!
