We can't wait to join Corvallis Parks & Recreation at their Pride in the Park event this Saturday! Check out their page for a schedule of events.

At Samaritan Health Services, we’re proud to stand with and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community as part of our commitment to building healthier communities together.

We are honored to support our friends and neighbors at events throughout the summer. Stop by our resource booths at select events to connect with us and learn more about our services.

While we won't have a booth at Corvallis Pride in the Park, we’ll be there enjoying the celebration alongside the community.

We can’t wait to see you there! 🌈
