Kona Community Hospital (KCH) is hosting its first annual Empowering Caregiver Resource Fair at the Kona Hongwanji Social Hall on Saturday, September 30 from 9 am to 12:30 pm.

The primary goal of the free event is to offer knowledge and resources to caregivers of kupuna and/or ill or injured loved ones at home.

By offering this free educational conference and outreach, Project Care aims to empower caregivers to:

  • Prevent hospitalization of their loved ones,
  •  Shorten hospitalization durations of their loved ones when applicable,
  •  Facilitate efficient discharge processes to the appropriate level of care and
  • Ensure that caregivers prioritize their own self-care.

Community organizations will be featured speakers at this event covering essential topics,
including:

  • Caring for our Kupuna with Alzheimer’s, presented by Alzheimer’s Association
  • Advance Health Care Directives presented by Community First Hawai’i,
  • Financial Considerations for Kupuna Care presented by KCH Patient Financial Services
    Department
  • Understanding Levels of Care and Respite presented by the KCH Case Management
    Department

KCH will also launch its Medical Folders, a tool that serves as a centralized resource for caregivers
to store vital medical information about their loved ones, accessible in emergencies and further
streamlining emergency response efforts.

To RSVP for the event contact 808-322-4559 or visit www.kch.hsc.org
