Students from the John A. Burns School of Medicine treat patients at a mobile medical clinic on Oahu\u2019s North Shore.<\/p>\n
A free mobile medical clinic is available for North Shore residents affected by recent catastrophic flooding this week.<\/p>\n
It will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Friday at Haleiwa Alii Beach Park at 66-167 Haleiwa Road.<\/p>\n
The free clinic is run by the City and County of Honolulu in partnership with the University of Hawaii\u2019s John A. Burns School of Medicine and its Hawaii H.O.M.E. Project.<\/p>\n
Physicians and medical students from the H.O.M.E. (Houseless Outreach & Medical Education) Project will provide services, along with paramedics from Honolulu Emergency Medical Services and a nurse from the CORE (Crisis Outreach Response and Engagement) program.<\/p>\n
The clinic will offer basic medical assessments, medications, and wound care, along with treatment for minor injuries.<\/p>\n
JABSOM\u2019s H.O.M.E. Project mobilized as early as Monday, when it set up a pop-up clinic at Waialua Elementary School. The H.O.M.E. Project will still offer its services 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Haleiwa Alii Beach Park on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been seeing a wide range of patients,\u201d said Dr. Jill Omori, H.O.M.E. Project Director in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen a fair amount with wounds and infections, probably from the storm water.\u201d<\/p>\n
Health care workers have treated dozens of patients for eye infections, wounds, and diarrhea likely related to brown water after the storm.<\/p>\n
Some have been given routine checkups after patients were unable to get to their scheduled appointments, and others are being checked for hypertension or diabetes.<\/p>\n
Many patients lost their prescription medications in the flood, and some were able to get them through the clinic, depending on the condition.<\/p>\n
Separately, the Hawaii Department of Health said it is working with nonprofits such as Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies Coalition to bring medical care and social services to the North Shore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"COURTESY JABSOM Students from the John A.
