March in Deming means windy afternoons, dusty soccer fields, and pollen in the air. 🌵💨
If your child has been sneezing more, rubbing their eyes, or dealing with a lingering cough, seasonal changes may be the reason. Our desert climate can be tough on little lungs this time of year.

A few simple ways to help:
• Keep windows closed on extra windy days
• Wash hands and face after outdoor play
• Stay well hydrated
• Change clothes after sports or recess

If breathing concerns are interfering with sleep, play, or school, we’re here to help guide you.

Strong lungs help kids enjoy everything spring has to offer in Luna County.
📞 Call SWPFC if you’d like to schedule a visit or have questions about seasonal symptoms.

Healthy Hearts Include Emotional Well-Being

🧠 A healthy heart isn’t just physical—it’s emotional too.

Stress, sleep, and emotional health all play a role in overall wellness. Taking time to rest, talk openly, and support one another helps families stay balanced and resilient.

Caring for emotional well-being is part of caring for the whole family.

If stress or fatigue feels overwhelming, talk with your provider.

Preventive care is a key objective in primary healthcare. The recent measles outbreak in cities near New Mexico, among other states, highlights the importance of ensuring that necessary vaccinations are provided, which are available at no cost through the state VFC program.
Schedulers are accessible on Monday and Thursday from 8 AM to 7 PM, Tuesday and Wednesday from 7 AM to 7 PM, and Friday from 8 AM to 2 PM. Preventing an outbreak, much like any crucial matter, requires a community effort! 👏😊

Post-Holiday Blues Are Real—and You’re Not Alone 💙

The holidays may be over, but the stress, sleep changes, and low moods can linger for many families. Kids, parents, caregivers, and seniors can all feel the effects after a busy season.

Pay attention to signs like trouble sleeping, feeling overwhelmed, low energy, or mood changes. Small steps such as sticking to routines, getting enough rest, staying active, and talking openly as a family can make a big difference.

If these feelings don’t improve or start to affect daily life, it’s okay to ask for help. Mental health is just as important as physical health.

👉 Talk to your provider if you or a family member needs support. We’re here for you.

❄️ Winter Wellness: Staying Well During Cold and Flu Season

Cold and flu season is here—but getting sick doesn’t have to be part of winter.

A few simple habits can help protect your family:
• Wash hands often and disinfect high-touch surfaces
• Get enough sleep and stay hydrated
• Eat balanced meals to support immunity
• Stay up to date on recommended vaccines

It’s also important to know when to see a doctor. Call or book a visit if symptoms include:
• Fever that lasts more than a few days
• Trouble breathing or persistent cough
• Severe fatigue or dehydration
• Symptoms that worsen instead of improve

Getting care early can help prevent complications and get you feeling better sooner.
If something doesn’t feel right, don’t wait—reach out to SWPFC.
