What a week it’s been at WEDCO! 🎉

We wrapped up National Public Health Week 2026 the best way we know how — with a little fun, a lot of laughs, and time spent together as a team 💙

From Donut Day 🍩 to kick things off…
to SINGO Bingo 🎶,
a midweek treat with Chick-fil-A 🐔,
some friendly competition during Pop Culture Trivia 🧠,
and ending on a sweet note with our Ice Cream Social 🍨 — this week was full of energy, connection, and celebration.

But beyond the fun, this week was a reminder of what makes WEDCO so special — the people behind the work. Every program, every service, every impact starts with this team.

Thank you all for showing up, participating, and making this week one to remember!

Yesterday, WEDCO’s leadership team had the opportunity to attend the Breakout Leadership Conference hosted by the Cynthiana Harrison County Chamber of Commerce in Cynthiana.

We spent the day learning, growing, and connecting with leaders from across the region. Our team participated in the Mindcraft track—a powerful deep dive focused on strengthening leadership through emotional intelligence and self-awareness.

We even got to hear from a familiar face, Dr. Crystal Miller, as she shared powerful insight on emotional intelligence—one of our favorite sessions of the day!

We’re bringing back fresh ideas, new perspectives, and renewed energy to continue strengthening our team and the communities we serve. 💙

March 28th is American Diabetes Alert Day. Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. It can also damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart, and it is linked to some types of cancer.

8.7 million Americans are unaware that they have diabetes and 1 in 3 have prediabetes.

To help reduce your risk of developing diabetes, the NIH recommends 30 minutes of physical activity 5 days a week, eating more healthy foods, and reducing portion sizes.
