PASIFIKA
WELLNESS CLINIC

Pasifika Wellness Clinic serves as a hub of resources and services offered through partnerships established with local providers and organizations focused on supporting us in furthering the holistic wellness of our Pasifika community. By partnering with providers such as International Community Health Services, King County Health Department and Medical Teams International, we are able to secure access points for the Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander communities to get care in comfort. From COVID-19 vaccination clinics, diabetes prevention & awareness workshops, health &wellness education and even healthcare enrollment to dental care pop-ups and Tuberculosis screenings – we work to steward safe, trusted spaces of health and wellness service for our Pasifika communities.

PREVENT THE SPREAD

Masks have been proven as an effective prevention strategy against COVID-19 spread, along with washing your hands and social distancing. It is important that our Pacific Islander families are wearing masks when they go out in public at all times and not gather with others who do not live in the same household. Keep yourself, our elders and our children safe by wearing your mask. If you are in need of masks, please reach out to us.

COVID Safety Guidelines

  • Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.
  • If surfaces are dirty, clean them. Use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
  • Then, use a household disinfectant.

  • Always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow and do not spit.
  • Throw used tissues in the trash.
  • Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Inaccurate information spreads widely and at speed, making it more difficult for the public to identify verified facts and advice from trusted sources, such as their local health authority. However, everyone can help to stop the spread. If you see content online that you believe to be false or misleading, you can report it to the hosting social media platform.
