WHC Weekend Repro Recap: 💫

We kicked last weekend’s festivities off with Repro Day at the WV state Capitol, where we had the chance to share stories, connect with other incredible orgs in our community fighting for reproductive and sexual health care access, and talk to lawmakers— AND see a drag show in the lower rotunda! 😍 Our LGBTQIA+ coordinator, Mariah, also attended a workshop on gender-affirming care to gather resources for our patients and LGBTQIA+ folks across the state.

Saturday we were hosted by some incredible friends in Morgantown for an event that raised nearly $25,000 for reproductive and sexual healthcare for West Virginians! 🎉

And Sunday we celebrated International Women’s Day at the King Center in Charleston, where we got to connect with so many amazing community members and advocates doing incredible work in our city. 💜

Some of the most effective tools that we have to address the ongoing opioid epidemic are being withheld from the people who want to offer them,” said Lake Sidikman, harm reduction program coordinator at the Women’s Health Center, which tried unsuccessfully to open a syringe service program in 2023.

State lawmakers have tightly constrained how people with substance use disorder can get clean syringes, medication and treatment.
