We’re proud to serve those who served. 🇺🇸

Wood County Community Health Center accepts Veterans’ insurance, because access to care should never be limited by coverage. Many veterans rely on community providers for services closer to home, shorter wait times, or specialized care outside the VA system—and we’re honored to be part of that network of support.

If you or a veteran you know could benefit from local, high-quality care with compassionate providers, call us or visit our website to learn more about our services and accepted insurance.

Your health matters. Your service matters. And we’re here for you.

Thank you, The Morning Show BG, for such a fun start to the morning! We had a blast chatting with you and the Wood County Committee On Aging.

We got some great news this morning about a collaboration that's getting underway between the Wood County Committee On Aging and the Wood County Health Center to support our seniors who are dealing with mental health challenges.

Click on the link in the comments below to hear our conversation this morning with Lindsey Ruivivar, CEO of the Wood County Community Health Center, and Lisa Myers, MSW, LISW-S, Director of Social Services at the Wood County Committee on Aging, about a stress management educational session the health center did recently and the upcoming plans for one-on-one counseling sessions starting later this month. Lisa also spoke about reducing stigma about behavioral health services amongst the older adult population.

Lindsey also put Lisa and I through a decompressing exercise we can all use during stressful times in our daily lives. Check it out!

Today is National Mammography Day
Mammograms are one of the most effective tools for detecting breast cancer early — when treatment can be most successful.

✨ Did you know?

Mammograms can detect changes in the breast up to two years before they can be felt.

Women aged 40 and older are encouraged to talk with their healthcare provider about a regular screening schedule.

Early detection saves lives.
