The next edition of Mālama Puʻuwai, a cardiovascular wellness program put on by the Maui Memorial Medical Center, is being offered in Kīhei in August.

The series begins on Thursday, Aug. 1, at the Kalama Heights facility on Kanani road in South Maui.

The six-week series runs on Thursdays through September 5, from 5 to 7:30 p.m.

The program is free and open to the public, however, pre-registration is required and space is limited.

Hospital officials say the Mālama Puʻuwai program focuses on education, healthy food choices, exercise, screening and referrals. The program is aimed at promoting wellness through early detection and modification of cardiovascular disease risk factors.
