🌺🌴 What an incredible afternoon at the 2nd Annual Magnolia Celebration & Resource Fair! 🌴🌺

The Ector County Health Department is grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful community event. We enjoyed sharing information about the services we offer, connecting with residents, answering questions, and spending time with members of our community.

Events like these remind us how important it is to build relationships, provide resources, and support one another. We were also honored to meet and network with so many amazing community partners who are making a difference in Odessa every day.

Thank you to the organizers for inviting us and to everyone who stopped by our table. We look forward to continuing to serve our community and participating in future events!

🏈🏀 SPORTS PHYSICALS ⚾️⚽️

At MCH Urgent Care, helping student athletes be prepared for sports and school activities is something we care about deeply. That’s why we offer $25 Sports Physicals at our two MCH Urgent Care locations and Walk‑in Clinic.

Sports physicals are very important. They give doctors a chance to evaluate your child’s health and fitness, as well as help to discover and manage health problems such as asthma or hernias that may interfere with participation in school sports. 💪🦵

No appointment needed. Click the link below for more information and to download your child's physical form to fill out and bring with you. 💙🧡

Get game‑ready with $25 sports physicals at MCH Urgent Cares. Walk‑in clinics, convenient locations, and no appointment needed.
