Dear Family and Friends,
As you know, Keith and I have been strong supporters of DAP Health and its mission to bring quality, equitable healthcare to everyone who needs it. For almost 40 years, DAP Health has worked tirelessly to open doors to healthcare for many of our neighbors and friends who have been unable, for many reasons, to access care that would help them live a healthier life.
This October 28th, DAP's Annual Walk For Health Equity will take place at Ruth Hardy Park in Palm Springs. Keith and I have pledged to raise funds for the Walk and have created our own donation page. We hope you can donate to this great cause by clicking on the "Donate Now" link to the right of this message. Any amount will help.
There has never been a more urgent need than there is today for so many in our community. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
Walk Out Loud to End HIV. HIV/AIDS care, testing, and prevention have always been at the heart of DAP Health's mission, and that simple fact will never change. Our clinical expertise has been hard-won from our vast experience, and is what has enabled us to expand as we have.
Walk Out Loud For LGBTQ+ Care. Every stripe of the rainbow, including those seeking gender-affirming care, have continually found a safe haven here, free of shame and stigma.
Walk Out Loud For Women’s Health. The recent acquisition of the Borrego Health system has brought a multitude of clinics that serve women (and their children) into the DAP Health fold. We are very proud to now boast robust OBGYN and pediatric services, among many others.
Walk Out Loud to End Epidemics. This has forever been DAP Health’s superpower, as it swiftly and successfully addressed a number of community health crises. For instance, its on-campus COVID-19 clinic was the first to open in the Coachella Valley, and the nonprofit successfully lobbied the powers that be for the community’s fair share of the much-needed mpox vaccine.
Walk Out Loud For Mental Health. Thanks to the 2022 opening of the Marc Byrd Behavioral Health Clinic — which offers in-person and telehealth individual and group psychotherapy, as well as medication management — this long-held DAP Health dream is now a reality.
Walk Out Loud to Care For Everyone. Health equity means all people have the same access to health care, no matter what social determinants of health negatively impact them. At DAP Health, everyone is welcome, with no one ever turned away due to their inability to pay.
THANK YOU FOR DONATING!
Bruce Finch and Keith Reimann
