Today’s Coffee Conversation in Cathedral City reminded us why listening matters. It’s part of our Seven Days In June series.

Together, we explored how PrEP is helping more women take control of their sexual health and why access to prevention, education, and open dialogue remains so important. We also had an honest conversation about the need for stigma-free, judgment-free health care spaces where LGBTQ+ people can be themselves and speak openly with their care teams.

Thank you to Dr. Jason Halperin and Mita Beech for leading such thoughtful discussions and asking questions that sparked meaningful dialogue.

At DAP Health, we’re committed to creating spaces where every voice is heard, every question is welcome, and every person is treated with dignity and respect.

☕🌈 Thank you to everyone who joined us. We look forward to continuing the conversation throughout the week.

June is a time to celebrate love, resilience, and the vibrant diversity of the LGBTQ+ community, and at DAP Health. For more than 40 years, DAP Health has stood proudly alongside our LGBTQ+ community, advocating for dignity, compassion, and access to care for all.

We honor the trailblazers who paved the way, and the progress we’ve made together, while recommitting ourselves to the work still ahead. Pride is not just a celebration; it’s a promise to continue showing up, speaking out, and caring deeply.

Happy Pride Month 🌈
