Wahiawā Health is open six days a week, convenient- ly in Wahiawā, and provides a full range of health care providers to meet the needs of everyone in the family, from keiki to kūpuna. Fam- ily appointments can be scheduled on the same day for added convenience and telehealth appointments are also available.
Records for women who deliver their babies at Ka- pi‘olani Medical Center are sent directly to Wahi- awā Health for post-deliv- ery care, and infant records are immediately sent to its pediatric providers to cre- ate an effortless transition from birth to aftercare and well-baby visits. An ad- vanced practice registered nurse lactation specialist is also on hand to provide sup- port to new mothers.

Wahiawā Health continues to offer COVID-19 testing and vaccinations, and has a separate phone line for the community to make an ap- pointment for a test, vaccine or booster shot at 808-622- 1619.
“Through this partnership, we are able to seamlessly connect patients living in rural Central O‘ahu com- munities with the most com-
ists to provide quality care for patients with complex conditions and more than one disease. Our diabetes management team provides education to our diabetes pa- tients to help improve their quality of life, self-manage their illness and reduce med- ical costs.”
The COVID-19 pandem- ic has led to steep declines in annual physical exams and cancer screenings, par- ticularly in the underserved communities of Central O‘ahu. In Hawaiʻi, experts at the University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center have seen a drop in mammographic
screening during the pan- demic, although mammog- raphy rates have started to recover. However, according to the Wahiawā Health team, a significant reduction in colonoscopy screenings for colorectal cancer continues.
