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.

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

Aloha ‘Ohana,

Did you know that the American Dental Association says that every child should visit a dentist by age 1?

The sooner children begin getting regular dental checkups, the healthier their mouths will stay throughout their lives. Early checkups help prevent cavities and tooth decay, which can lead to pain, trouble concentrating, and other medical issues. Youngsters with healthy teeth chew food easily, learn to speak clearly, and smile with confidence.

The American Dental Association says that every child should visit a dentist by age 1 – or as soon as the first tooth appears. This “well-baby visit” teaches parents and caregivers how to care for their children’s teeth and help them remain cavity-free.

Learn more about proper keiki dental at Ko’olauloa Health Center.

What is a “well-child visit”? Even if your child is not sick, regular visits to the doctor provide important information and treatments to help your child grow up healthy. These visits to the doctor are free of charge.

KHC’s well-child visit for children includes:
- Examination of your child’s body, including height and weight, vision, and hearing.
- Answering your and your child’s questions.
- Providing physical, mental, and social advice.
- Administering necessary vaccinations.
- Making referrals to specialists if needed.

Contact Dr. Danielle Lum to schedule your keiki’s well-child vist.

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.

Here is a great message from our friends at the Hawaii Department of Health:

Devoting some time every day to care for yourself can go a long way toward protecting your heart health. Self-care, like moving more, preparing healthier meals, getting enough quality sleep, and taking a moment to de-stress, helps your heart.

Call (808) 293-9231 or visit www.koolauloachc.org to make an appointment to learn more about taking care of yourself or scheduling your annual physical.
