Whitney Young Health was proud to attend BIPOC Pride this weekend and connect with so many members of our community.

Throughout the day, our team shared information about services including PrEP, HIV and Hepatitis C screening and treatment, primary care, and other healthcare resources available through Whitney Young Health. More importantly, we had meaningful conversations, listened to people's experiences, and built connections that reflect our commitment to serving everyone with dignity and respect.

As a longtime supporter and sponsor of Pride celebrations and events like these, we are grateful for the opportunity to show up, engage with the community, and help connect people to the care and resources they need.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table and spent time with us.

At Whitney Young Health, your pharmacy is part of your care team.

Whitney Young Health Rx was created to make care more connected and convenient for our patients. After seeing your provider, you can fill your prescriptions right at your health center instead of making another trip across town.

Our pharmacy team works closely with providers to answer questions, help patients understand their medications, navigate insurance challenges, and support better health outcomes.

That means more coordinated care, all in one place.

We can't wait to see everyone this weekend!

Events like these help make preventive healthcare more accessible while creating a fun and welcoming environment for all.
