📢 HEALTH ALERT: Measles in New Mexico — Urgent for Deming Families
As of July 25, 2025, New Mexico has confirmed 96 measles cases statewide — including new cases in Luna County, impacting even the Deming area.

⚠️ Most recently, five detainees at the Luna County Detention Center (in Deming) tested positive, and eight additional cases have been reported in the county.

🧠 What You and Your Family Should Know
Measles spreads easily through the air, often before a rash shows. If you're unvaccinated or unsure, you're at risk.
Vaccines are one of the safest, most effective ways to protect children from serious illnesses like measles, whooping cough, and more.

With school just around the corner, health officials emphasize the importance of vaccination before children return to classrooms.

💉 Protection starts here. For your child—and for our whole community.
Our experienced team provides school-required immunizations in a compassionate, calming way for your child.
Unsure about immunity or vaccination records? Call us to verify your status and get protected.

Did you know that chronic ear infections can affect speech and learning? Early detection makes a big difference.

Raising Healthy Kids Starts at Home

Healthy habits don’t happen overnight—they’re built day by day, starting with what kids see at home.

Children learn by watching their parents and caregivers, from balanced meals and daily movement to consistent bedtimes and limited screen time.

Small changes can make a big difference:
• Eat meals together
• Make physical activity fun
• Prioritize sleep and routines
• Talk openly about feelings and mental health

Together, let’s raise a generation of strong, healthy, and happy kids.

Bug Bite Safety for Kids – What Parents Need to Know

Summer fun often means more time outside—and more chances for bug bites. While most insect bites are harmless, some can lead to itching, allergic reactions, or infections.

Here are a few quick tips for parents:
✔️ Use kid-safe insect repellent
✔️ Dress kids in long sleeves and pants during dusk and dawn
✔️ Avoid scented lotions or soaps that attract bugs
✔️ Clean and monitor bites to prevent infection
✔️ Know when to seek medical attention (fever, swelling, or signs of allergy)

Let’s keep summer safe and itch-free for our little ones!

This year, 14 children have died in hot cars from pediatric vehicular heatstroke. Children are at great risk for heatstroke because a child’s body heats up at a rate 3 to 5 times faster than adults. Most parents and caregivers believe it could never happen to them, but in most cases, the child is left behind unknowingly.
