Radiant Health Centers has provided four decades of exceptional care and support to people affected by HIV and their loved ones. It has been instrumental in driving new HIV transmissions down over the past 15 years; however, six people a week in Orange County are still diagnosed with HIV. Radiant Health Centers encompasses traditional HIV testing and prevention outreach as well as long-standing services to Orange County’s HIV positive community while also creating a safe space to help more members of our LGBT community in need of compassionate care.

January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month, highlighting the importance of eye health and early detection. Known as the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma affects over 3 million Americans, yet half don’t know they have it.

People living with HIV may be at higher risk for eye complications, including glaucoma, due to inflammation or certain medications. LGBTQ+ individuals, especially older adults, often face additional barriers to vision care—like cost, stigma, or lack of inclusive providers.

Glaucoma can cause irreversible vision loss if left untreated, but regular eye exams can detect it early. Activists like Stephen Fry, who has spoken openly about living with glaucoma, remind us that early awareness leads to empowerment.

Radiant Health Centers connects patients with comprehensive medical care, including referrals for vision screenings and management for chronic conditions. As a Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike, we serve everyone, with a special focus on the LGBTQ+ and HIV communities of Orange County.

January is Cervical Health Awareness Month, reminding us that early detection saves lives. The CDC estimates over 11,500 new cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed annually in the U.S.—yet it’s one of the most preventable cancers through HPV vaccination, Pap smears, and regular screenings.

For LGBTQ+ communities, especially le***an, bisexual, transgender, and nonbinary people with a cervix, disparities in screening are significant. Many face barriers such as discomfort with medical providers, lack of inclusive care, or fear of discrimination. Studies show up to 30% of q***r women and trans men are not routinely screened.
Notable advocates like Laverne Cox and organizations such as the Human Rights Campaign have pushed for inclusive reproductive health care that affirms every identity. As activist Audre Lorde said, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence—it is self-preservation.”

At Radiant Health Centers, we’re here to make preventive care affirming and accessible for everyone. Our inclusive medical team provides Pap tests, HPV vaccination, and comprehensive sexual health services for all bodies.

January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness about one of the world’s most urgent human rights crises. Declared by presidential proclamation in 2010, this month calls attention to the millions of people—men, women, and children—who are exploited through forced labor, sexual exploitation, and coercion.

The U.S. Department of State estimates that nearly 28 million people worldwide are currently victims of human trafficking. It’s an issue that affects every community, including Orange County. Locally, the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force reported that victims are often minors, LGBTQ+ youth, and people experiencing homelessness—groups who may already face rejection, poverty, or isolation.

According to The Trevor Project, LGBTQ+ youth are at significantly higher risk of trafficking and exploitation due to family rejection and discrimination. Many traffickers exploit this vulnerability by posing as friends, romantic partners, or employers.

Advocates like Alicia Kozak, a survivor and activist for online child safety, remind us: “Awareness is the first step to prevention.”

At Radiant, we are committed to protecting the health and dignity of all people. As a Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike, we serve everyone in the OC, with a special focus on the LGBTQ+ and HIV communities. Our compassionate medical and behavioral health teams are trained to recognize signs of abuse and connect individuals to confidential, trauma-informed care and community support services.

⚠️ Know the warning signs:
• Unexplained injuries or fearfulness
• Sudden changes in behavior or control of documents
• Someone speaking for the individual or limiting communication
• Signs of isolation, malnutrition, or exhaustion

If you suspect trafficking, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or text “HELP” to 233733 (BEFREE).

Together, we can protect the vulnerable, end exploitation, and build a community rooted in compassion and safety for all.

Today we recognize World Braille Day, celebrated each year on January 4th, the birthday of Louis Braille, who developed the tactile writing system that opened doors for millions of people with visual impairments. Established by the United Nations in 2018, this day raises awareness of the importance of accessibility and inclusion for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.

Globally, more than 2.2 billion people have some form of vision impairment or blindness, according to the World Health Organization. Yet many still face barriers to health care, education, and information—especially those living with other marginalized identities, such as members of the LGBTQ+ or HIV communities.

Accessibility is essential to health equity. For individuals living with HIV, visual impairments may also arise as a result of certain medications or opportunistic infections, making accessible health materials even more vital. Advocates such as Haben Girma, the first Deafblind graduate of Harvard Law School, remind us that “disability is an opportunity for innovation.”

At Radiant Health Centers, we believe inclusive health care must be accessible to everyone. As a Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike, we serve all people in Orange County, with a special focus on the LGBTQ+ and HIV communities. Our team works to ensure that information, care, and resources are available in forms that meet each individual’s needs—because every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood.

💙 On World Braille Day, let’s commit to making health care accessible for all—because inclusion is the key to compassion.

January is National Thank You Month, a time to reflect on gratitude and connection—the cornerstones of community well-being. Gratitude doesn’t just feel good; it’s scientifically proven to be good for you. Studies from the American Psychological Association show that expressing gratitude can lower stress, improve immune function, and strengthen relationships—all essential to a healthier, happier life.

At Radiant Health Centers, we’re profoundly thankful for the community that makes our mission possible. From our dedicated staff and volunteers to the patients, donors, and partners who trust us every day, your compassion fuels our work to deliver inclusive, high-quality care for all, with a special focus on the LGBTQ+ and HIV communities of Orange County.

In the spirit of National Thank You Month, we extend our deepest gratitude to:
🌟 The clients who share their stories and courage.
🌟 The advocates who fight for equality and access to care.
🌟 The community partners who join hands to end stigma.
🌟 The donors who make it possible for Radiant to provide care for those who need it most.

As Oprah Winfrey once said, “Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more.”

When we give thanks, we strengthen the bonds that make our community resilient.

💙 This month—and every month—Radiant Health Centers gives thanks to YOU for helping us make Orange County a healthier, more compassionate place for everyone.

👉 Join us in spreading gratitude. Share what you’re thankful for in the comments or tag us to highlight someone who’s made a difference in your life.
