The Self-Care and Wellness Center at Hawaii Pacific Neuroscience promotes lifestyle choices as life skills in self-care and serves as Hawaii’s first and only Wellness Center with focus on brain health and neurological conditions.
Dr. Smith has served well and retired with distinction as the former Physician-in-Chief of the Occupational Health Services of Kaiser Permanente, Hawaii. Through the Self-Care and Wellness Center, Dr. Smith hopes to leverage the Six Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine as an evidence-based practice of helping individuals and families adopt and sustain healthy behaviors that affect their health and well-being, effectively promoting "lifestyle as medicine."
The goal is to empower patients and families to collaboratively develop a road map for wellness to address specific neurological conditions, including:
Memory & Dementia | Stroke / TIA | Chronic Pain | Headaches | Insomnia | OSA | Epilepsy | Parkinson’s | Other Neurological Conditions
Evaluation begins with an assessment of the client’s lifestyle risk factors and an assessment of the client’s readiness to change unhealthy behaviors.
