CARE MANAGEMENT
Kūpuna and caregiver support throughout the care journey
Our grassroots, community-led model leverages Community Health Navigators (CHNs) or non-licensed, non-clinical wellness advocates along with licensed clinical staff to provide a trusted resource in the community. Needs are supported through transition of care support, health education, chronic condition management, and social services assistance through a culturally relevant approach.

The best part of the program were the follow up calls and discussions, because we were able to go over things and I could write them down and it would serve as a reminder for me not to procrastinate - things like scheduling my doctor appointments. I also appreciated the weekly positive encouragement and reminders of how far along I had come on my own. Quote from David Mitchell, Kālele Care Services patient graduate
Anybody my age, and especially if you’re blind...you always need that extra help. It would be hard to get help. Everybody busy. If I don’t have the right answer, I go try her [Jodi, Community Health Navigator] and she can give me advice. Quote from Robert Rodrigues, Kālele Care Services patient graduate
