We’re excited to officially launch the Eddy County Health Council’s Women’s Ask Without Fear Campaign!

This campaign was created to provide a safe and supportive space for women to ask anonymous questions about women’s health, mental wellness, self-care, relationships, and more.
Please scan the QR code to submit your questions anonymously and connect with local resources and support.

Submissions will close on June 11th. After the form closes, responses and educational information from our community partners will be shared on our social media pages.

*This campaign is intended for educational and informational purposes only. Questions and responses are meant to help educate women about available services, health topics, and community resources that may benefit others in our community. This is not intended to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.*

Little update from the community garden 🌱

We’re excited to share that some of our plants are officially starting to sprout! It’s been amazing watching the community garden come to life.

As temperatures continue warming up, we’re still looking for more volunteers who would be willing to help water the garden throughout the week. Even a little time can make a big difference in helping the plants grow!

If you’re interested in volunteering, please contact us for more details. 💚
