Jean-Elie Moreau’s practice in nursing and medicine spans over 25 years. He has served in New Mexico, Hawaii, and Oregon. He is a Board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner fluent in French, Spanish, Haitian Creole and of course English. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree of Science and Nursing since 1990 and a Masters Degree in Nursing Science since 1999 all from The University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.

He utilizes a mixture of evidence-based medicine and alternative medicine approach to deliver patient-centered care. He very strongly believes that patients must be fully engaged in their care. He also believes that appropriate humor can have a positive healing effect by boosting one’s immune system, just like stress can have the opposite effect.

Jean-Elie considers his role to be that of an educator whose goal is to help patients gain an understanding of the various conditions that affect them, and to help them discover healthy processes that can mitigate the negative effects of these conditions. This approach takes into consideration that a patients’s cultural beliefs play a significant role in their care.

Jean-Elie has a special interest in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (all ages); Urgent Care(ages 2 to 90+ yrs) and Internal Medicine for acute, episodic and chronic disease management.

When not working he enjoys cooking (he even owned a restaurant before) and many different sports activities from swimming, cycling, soccer, tennis and table tennis, to name a few.
Of utmost importance is his family and the pleasure of watching his children grow and develop into healthy, respectful, intelligent young men.

With his depth and experience of medicine and nursing Pohala is honored to have him join our Ohana.
