Eureka City Council members were introduced to new community resources and leadership during their November 5, 2024, meeting, highlighting a commitment to enhancing local services and media engagement.

A representative from a new clinic located behind Winco shared details about their facility, emphasizing its welcoming atmosphere and the availability of both telehealth and in-person services. The clinic encourages self-referrals and aims to connect with the community to better serve their needs. They provided a contact number, (707) 240-4212, for anyone seeking assistance or wishing to suggest outreach opportunities.

In another significant development, Sean McLaughlin from Access Humboldt introduced Christina Marie Jeffers as the new executive director. Jeffers, a filmmaker and community organizer relocating from Sacramento, expressed her enthusiasm for collaborating with the council and the community. McLaughlin highlighted the historical significance of Access Humboldt, noting its origins as a community media center established through collaboration between local governments.

These introductions mark a proactive step towards improving community health services and media representation in Eureka, with both leaders eager to engage with residents and enhance local resources. The council's support for these initiatives reflects a broader commitment to fostering community well-being and connectivity.
