Reach Out & Read

Aloha ‘Ohana!

Reposting this from a few weeks ago so that yesterday's post made sense.

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.

Women's Health

Aloha ‘Ohana,

Did you know that over 1,000 women in Hawaii are diagnosed with breast cancer annually? It is the second most deadly cancer for women after lung cancer. Death rates are highest for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders. Early detection and treatment are key.

Know the warning signs:

- New lump in your breast or armpit
- Any swelling or thickening of your breast
- 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!)
- Change in size or shape of your breast
- Pain in any part of your breast

Self-checks and getting to a doctor right away can save your life.

Call us at 293-9231 for an appointment.

- Screen options include stool tests, colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and CT colonography.

- Blood test for prostate cancer antigens starting at age 55 or if you have symptoms

- Talk to your doctor about frequent urination, weak interrupted flow, discomfort urinating, and blood in your urine.

- Share a family history of cancer with your doctor.

Koolauloa Health Center is always accepting new patients (with and without insurance).

Call 293-9231 for an appointment.

Hope to see you soon! Mahalo.
