Yavapai Pride in our Health Coalition

Now Forming!

March 13, 2023

Prism Network is partnering with the Yavapai Community Health Department to create the Pride in our Health Coalition!

The Yavapai Community Health Department recently published the 2022 Yavapai LGBTQ+ Healthcare Access Survey. This survey provides much needed data on the health disparities experiences by the LGBTQ+ Community here in rural Yavapai County. Access the full Survey Results Here

According to the results:

62% of all respondents said that they agree or some what agree that they have been refused care due to LGBTQ+ identity.

BE THE VOICE FOR CHANGE

Prism Network is partnering with the Yavapai Community Health Department to create a coalition that will improve access to inclusive healthcare and create an LGBTQ+ inclusive Health Care List.

We are looking to build a coalition of community partners and medical providers working together to better serve the health and wellness needs of the LGBTQ+ Community in Yavapai County.

We are officially starting to reach out to organizations we think will be a great fit for for the Coalition. If you or your organization is interested please fill out the form linked below:

Please contact Prismaz.net or PrideInOurHealth@yavapaiaz.gov if you have any questions.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!
