As the winter weather approaches, is your car prepared? What items do you keep in your car in case of an emergency?

Whether it's an extended trip or a trip to town for a doctor’s appointment/groceries, it's a good idea to have these items at the ready. Stay safe this winter!

📢 We’re Opening a Baby Supplies Closet! 👶💙

Wheeler County Public Health is excited to announce the launch of a Baby Supplies Closet to support families in our community who need a little extra help welcoming their new little ones. As part of this effort, we’re also working to create a simple, community-wide system for sharing and distributing baby items so families can access what they need when they need it.

We’re reaching out to the community for donations of new or gently used baby essentials, including:

🍼 Clothing (newborn–2T)
🧸 Blankets & swaddles
🚼 Diapers & wipes - new items only
🛁 Bath items - new items only
🧦 Socks, hats, and mittens
🪑 Bottles, pacifiers, burp cloths - new items only
🛏️ Sleep sacks
🎒 Diaper bags
…and other infant care necessities!

This is a great chance to pass along those no longer used baby items that are like new or barely used. Thanks for helping promote a healthy start for our youngest residents. ❤️

If you would like to donate, please drop items off at Wheeler County Public Health from Mon-Wed. 8:30-3 pm, or contact us at phprograms@wheelercountyor.gov for more information.

✨We're looking for someone to join our team for this Spring season!✨

Wheeler County Public Health is partnering with a consultant - Ronda Zakocs of Insight for Action - to facilitate the design of a community health assessment and community health improvement plan for Wheeler County from February through August 2025.

We are looking for someone who lives in Wheeler County (or close by) to administer a survey to Wheeler County residents. The purpose of the survey is to better understand residents’ perspectives on health and well-being. The 10-minute survey would be administered to people waiting to receive services or participating in community events held by churches or schools. (No personal individual medical history will be asked in this survey).

This individual will work closely with our consultant, Ronda and Sarah Hartenstein of Wheeler County Public Health.

Please inquire for more information if interested!!
