As a longtime Rainbow Sponsor, DAP Health continues to uplift Greater Palm Springs Pride. This enduring partnership reflects our deep roots in the Coachella Valley and our unwavering belief that Pride is not just a celebration, but part of a continuum of care, advocacy, and empowerment.
“Pride is a powerful reminder that being visible is part of being healthy,” says DAP Health Chief Marketing Officer Steven Henke. “When we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community in Palm Springs, we also celebrate the dignity of every person DAP Health serves. Our sponsorships are matched by our year-round support of local LGBTQ+ media — like advertising in GED Magazine’s Guide to Pride and The Standard Palm Springs — because amplifying trusted community voices helps people feel seen, heard, and affirmed, and connects them to the care they deserve.”
Not walking? You can still:
For more than 40 years, DAP Health has embraced a holistic, patient-centered approach to care that recognizes that being seen, heard, and affirmed is essential to both mental and physical health. For LGBTQ+ people, those three simple words can mean the difference between isolation and connection, fear and safety, invisibility and dignity.
“Being seen, heard, and affirmed isn’t a tagline — it’s health care,” says DAP Health Manager of Mission LaBianca McMillan. “When someone’s identity is respected, anxiety falls, trust grows, and people come earlier for care, stay engaged in treatment, and thrive. We want every LGBTQ+ person to know they belong and their health matters.”
This belief is woven into the fabric of DAP Health’s mission. Through medical services, social support, advocacy, and community partnerships, we create spaces where LGBTQ+ individuals not only receive care but also experience belonging and affirmation.
