Medical resources

TeleMedicine

To continue providing health care while implementing physical distancing, some doctors are embracing telemedicine.

If you have a smart phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer, chances are you have all the equipment you need for a telemedicine appointment. Your doctor will tell you what application you need to meet with them online. If you need help with the application, Tutu’s House may be able to help. Call 808-885-6777.

Get the most out of seeing your doctor especially a telehealth appointment, by preparing:

  • Know your family health history.
  • Make a list of any medicines you take including dosages.
  • Make a list of concerns and questions to discuss.
  • You may want a friend or family member join you for the appointment to help
  • Take notes.
  • Don’t leave the appointment until all of your questions have been answered and you understand what to do next.

Novel Coronavirus

COVID-19 is the disease caused by a novel or new coronavirus, 2019-nCoV or SARS-CoV-2

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), as of 3/30/2020, there’s no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and no curative treatment, only treatment for symptom management. Coronavirus disease spreads primarily through contact with an infected person when they cough or sneeze. It also spreads when a person touches a surface or object that has the virus on it, then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth.

Physical distancing and these practices are your best defense:

  • You can protect yourself and help prevent spreading the virus to others if you:
  • Wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds, with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub
  • Cover your nose and mouth with a disposable tissue or flexed elbow when you cough or sneeze
  • Avoid close contact with people outside your household
  • Stay home and self-isolate from others in the household if you feel unwell
  • Don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth if your hands are not clean
