🌸 Women’s History Month | Honoring Women in Healthcare

This month, the Women’s Health Center is celebrating the women whose dedication, innovation, and leadership have shaped healthcare and improved the lives of women and families everywhere.

We begin by honoring Dr. Virginia Apgar, a physician whose work transformed newborn care around the world.

In 1952, Dr. Apgar developed the Apgar Score, a quick and simple evaluation used immediately after birth to assess a newborn’s health. Today, this lifesaving tool is used globally to ensure babies receive the care they need during their first moments of life.

Her innovation continues to protect mothers and babies every day.

Throughout March, we will continue highlighting women who have shaped healthcare — and the incredible women who provide care right here in our own community.

💛 Supporting Our Community Through Uncertain Times

This week, the County of Monterey Board of Supervisors took swift action to ensure our residents continue to have access to food during the federal government shutdown. The Board approved an urgency allocation of $150,000 to support our local food bank and help families who rely on SNAP/CalFresh benefits throughout November.

This one-time funding will bridge the gap as federal contingency funds are processed — ensuring that over 51,000 local residents, including 29,000 children, have the food they need.

We encourage our community partners, organizations, and local jurisdictions to share this important information and, if possible, join the County in pledging funds to strengthen food access across Monterey County.

Together, we can make sure no one goes hungry. 🍎💚
