If you’re uninsured and need HIV treatment or PrEP, this is an important reminder:

🗓 Open enrollment ends January 15, 2026.

Health insurance can be a major barrier — and cost is one of the most common reasons people delay care.

At Healthcare Unity Group (HUG), we believe no one should go without life-saving prevention or treatment because of finances.

That’s why HUG offers up to $300 per month in insurance premium assistance for eligible individuals — helping bridge well-known gaps in health equity and ensuring access to consistent, affirming care.

With HUG, you can access:
✨ FREE virtual PrEP
✨ FREE HIV treatment & ongoing care
✨ Insurance navigation and enrollment support
✨ Premium assistance (up to $300/month)
✨ Compassionate, stigma-free providers

If the process feels overwhelming or out of reach, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. This is your last opportunity to secure coverage for all of 2026.

📱 Text “UNINSURED” to 321-336-7292 to get started today.
We’ll meet you where you are and help you take the next step toward care.

💙 Your health matters.

As we close out the year, we want to take a moment to express our deep gratitude — to our patients, our community, and our incredible HUG team who show up every day with compassion, excellence, and heart.

🗓 HUG offices will be closed from 12/24/25 through 1/2/26
📍 We’ll resume seeing patients on Friday, January 2nd

This brief pause allows our team time to rest, reset, and spend the holidays with loved ones — so we can return refreshed and ready to continue providing the high-quality, affirming care you deserve in 2026.

💙 To our patients: thank you for trusting us with your care.
💙 To our team: thank you for the dedication, resilience, and humanity you bring into this work.

If you have urgent medical concerns during this time, please seek care at your local emergency department.

From all of us at Healthcare Unity Group, we’re sending you warmth, peace, and well wishes this holiday season. ✨

💙 TEAM MEMBER APPRECIATION — DECEMBER 💙

Today, we’re celebrating Sam, a true light within the HUG family. ✨

From being the first warm smile our patients see, to holding a calm, steady presence during our busiest moments, Sam brings compassion, reliability, and heart into everything she does.

She supports our front desk operations, manages Klara buckets with precision, answers questions with grace, and somehow always stays one step ahead — even on her day off. That dedication does not go unnoticed.

🌟 Reliable
🌟 Compassionate
🌟 Detail-oriented
🌟 Always thinking of others

Sam, thank you for the care you pour into our patients and our team every single day. We are so grateful for you and honored to have you as part of HUG.

With love and appreciation,
🩵 Your HUG family

We’re grateful to for sharing his experience with Healthcare Unity Group (HUG) and trusting us with his care. Stories like his reflect why we do this work every day.

When Luis came to HUG uninsured and unsure where to begin, our team was able to provide free testing and treatment services, along with support enrolling in health insurance and assistance with premiums—so cost was never a barrier to care. This is what community-centered healthcare looks like: meeting people where they are and making access simple, dignified, and supportive.

⏰ Now is the time to prioritize your health. Open enrollment for 2026 health insurance ends January 15th. Having coverage in place now helps ensure prevention, protection, and continuity of care throughout the year—and HUG is here to guide you through the process.

Late HIV diagnosis isn’t just a statistic — it’s a matter of survival.

Research shows that people diagnosed late with HIV face:

⚠️ Higher risk of serious illness
⚠️ Longer time to viral suppression
⚠️ Over 2x higher risk of death

At Healthcare Unity Group (HUG), we believe early diagnosis saves lives — and access should never be a barrier.

That’s why we offer free, stigma-free HIV testing, PrEP, and treatment, with virtual care options that meet you where you are.

✨ Knowledge is power
✨ Early care is life-saving
✨ Compassion belongs in healthcare

🌟 Celebrating Our November Team Member of the Month — CHESTER 🌟

HUG Communication Support — Klara Team

As we enter December, we want to reflect with gratitude and recognize the incredible work Chester shared with us throughout November.

Chester played a remarkable role in supporting our Klara communication system — ensuring no message went unanswered, no patient felt overlooked, and every concern was met with care, warmth, and efficiency. His dedication helped make our workflow smoother, our team more connected, and most importantly, our patients feel seen, heard, and valued.

His presence radiated positivity. Chester showed compassion through every interaction, strengthened team collaboration, and approached challenges with eagerness and heart. He consistently stayed organized, kept follow-ups on track, and brought thoughtful solutions that elevated our patient experience.

Because of Chester’s reliability, drive, and loving approach to communication, our patients received timely responses, supportive messaging, and the quality of care that reflects what HUG stands for. His impact was deeply felt — by both the team and those we serve.

Chester, you made November brighter for all of us.
Thank you for your kindness, your commitment to excellence, and the heart you bring to HUG every day.

💙 We appreciate you.
💜 We celebrate you.
🧡 And we’re grateful you’re part of the HUG family.

Healthcare should feel human — not cold, rushed, or transactional.

At HUG, it does. 🤩

This week’s testimonial from Zachary H. reminds us why we do this work:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“If I could give them 100 stars, I would!!”
“I felt listened to, cared for, and not judged. Zero stress. Dr. Walko is AMAZING.”

These words reflect what we believe healthcare should be — warm, personal, safe, and built on connection.

No stigma. No shame. No feeling small.

With Dr. Walko and our team, you’re more than a patient.
You’re a person.
You’re a life worth investing in.
You matter.

We are redefining what care feels like — with dignity, joy, and humanity at the center.

If you’re ready for healthcare that heals the whole you, we’re here. 🤍
