Women’s Health

Be A Healthy Woman

Women—who make between 80 and 90 percent of all health care decisions—often balance careers, primary and secondary families, caring for parents and civic work. Monthly health seminars, events,  e-mails and other benefits help empower women with the knowledge and confidence to make informed health care and well-being decisions for themselves and their loved ones.

Lāna‘i Community Health Center can help you take care of yourself so that you can take care of everyone else.

Enjoy good health at every age: know your body and how it works, eat well and stay active, and follow a plan for disease prevention.  See your provider to personalize your plan.
