Keiki Health & Wellness

Aloha ‘Ohana!

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.

KHC Site Visit

Aloha ‘Ohana!

Earlier this month, Ko'olauloa Health Center had the honor of hosting visitors from the Hawai'i Primary Care Association (HPCA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD).

They spent the afternoon talking story about the health center's participation in the National Diabetes Prevention Program. This program aims to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by following the CDC-recognized lifestyle change program.

Ko'olauloa community members meet regularly over the course of the one-year program. Together the cohort works towards making lasting lifestyle changes, such as adding physical activity into their daily routine and making modifications to the foods they eat.

Patient Appreciation Day

Wednesday, 8/9 – Patient Appreciation Day

For the first time in history, Community Health Centers like Ko’olauloa Health Center served more than 30 million patients in 2021. A legacy of more than 60 years in the making, the Community Health Center movement began as a journey of building power among people within their unique communities. Today, Community Health Centers represent the largest network of primary care providers in America. Community Health Centers serve 1 in 11 people in the U.S. including:

1 in 9 children and adolescents
1 in 7 racial and ethnic minorities
1 in 6 Medicaid beneficiaries
1 in 5 uninsured persons
1 in 3 people in poverty


Additionally, federal policy requires that at least 51% of Community Health Center board members be patients of the health centers they represent. Consumer board members volunteer their time and expertise to be a voice for others who are served by the health center in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status.

Today we celebrate the patients and community board members who keep Community Health Centers accountable for meeting the needs of local communities. Mahalo!
