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.

Aloha ‘Ohana,

Did you know that job burnout can have serious consequences for your health? Here are a few important consequences of job burnout from our friends at the American Heart Association.

Experts say the first step to dealing with burnout is to prevent it by doing all the things we know already are good for us: getting good sleep, exercising, eating healthy, drinking water, and having interests outside of work.

But if you can’t prevent it, don’t just try to tough it out. Seek help from professional therapists or a faith community and look for positive coping strategies like delegating tasks, taking short walks during the day, or periodic breathing exercises.

If you’d like to learn more about how to cope with job burnout or if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, call (808) 293-9231 or visit www.koolauloachc.org to set up an appointment.

Mahalo!

Here are a few common sense Halloween tips from our Dentistry Department:

1. Don’t go batty for the candy! Of course, as your Ko’olauloa area dentists, we would prefer you not have so many sugary sweets. The key is moderation.

2. When in doubt throw it out! Make sure your keiki understands that no one eats any candy at all until back home. There it is best to empty your trick-or-treat bag on a table and overlook each piece. Anything that is open, damaged, or just odd looking should be thrown out.

Mahalo and have a safe and fun Halloween!
