🌎 World Vasectomy Day

Today we’re shining a light on one of the safest, most effective forms of long-term birth control: the vasectomy.

A vasectomy is a quick, outpatient procedure with a fast recovery time — and it’s a powerful way for men to take an active role in family planning.
✔️ Safe
✔️ Effective
✔️ Permanent birth control option

🩷National Rural Health Day

Today we recognize the strength, resilience, and unique challenges faced by rural and frontier communities—especially here in Wyoming.

Much of Wyoming is designated as a Health Care Provider Shortage Area, meaning many residents have fewer local options for affordable, quality, and compassionate care. Long distances, limited providers, and transportation barriers can make accessing reproductive and s*xual health services even harder.

That’s why Title X Family Planning Clinics play such a vital role.
We’re here to ensure everyone—no matter where you live—has access to respectful, confidential, and affordable services, including birth control, STI testing and treatment, cancer screenings, and more.

On Rural Health Day, we’re proud to support Wyoming communities by helping break down barriers to care.
Your health matters. Your access matters. We’re here for you.

Did you know men have a su***de rate 3X higher than women? This brings awareness to men's wellbeing and supports mental health so we can work towards . In Wyoming, middle-aged men and older adults die more often by su***de than their counterparts. So, what can we do?

We can start with su***de prevention right here in our own community by asking questions, encouraging conversations about mental health, and breaking the stigma around su***de. No one needs to "man up" or "cowboy up" when it comes to their mental health. Take the time to talk about suicidal thoughts you may be having with someone you trust.

Remember, the 988 Lifeline is available 24/7 for anonymous support.

When you hear “pelvic floor”—if you’ve heard of it at all—there’s a good chance you’ve written it off as something only women have to deal with, particularly after giving birth. Although that’s true, men absolutely have a pelvic floor, and when it experiences dysfunction, it can lead to a host of health problems, including different types of erectile dysfunction and s*xual dissatisfaction.

Men’s health—general and s*xual—are closely connected to the function of the pelvic floor!

Expedited partner therapy (EPT) is a way for someone to get treatment for certain s*xually transmitted infections (STIs) for both themselves and their partner, even if a healthcare professional doesn’t examine their partner.

EPT isn’t an option for everyone or every infection. There are some limitations, and the rules and recommendations around EPT can vary depending on where you live.

Loss of Medicaid coverage has potentially severe consequences for the s*xual and reproductive health, rights and autonomy of individuals. Cost is a known barrier to care for people without insurance. For example, 20% of uninsured women reported having to stop using contraception in the previous year because they couldn’t afford it, a far higher rate than that reported by women with Medicaid or private insurance. Similarly, out-of-pocket costs can also lead to discontinuation or gaps in use and can restrict individuals’ choice of contraceptive methods. These infringements on method choice and use are violations of reproductive autonomy and may also lead to incorrect and ineffective contraceptive use, which in turn can lead to unwanted pregnancy. Loss of coverage can also result in a range of health, social, economic and logistical problems, including pregnancy-related health risks, aggravation of underlying health conditions, difficulties finding accessible and affordable health care providers, and additional strains on patients’ time, budget and relationships.

Insurance, or no insurance, you can get reproductive and s*xual health care low cost-no cost at your local Title X Family Planning Clinic! We are here for you! WYHC.ORG
