Big news: Thanks to a generous $5,000 grant from Kroger and Fry’s Food Stores, Prisma’s Ryan White Nutrition Program can continue delivering life-saving support to our community members living with HIV. From food vouchers to protein powder and one-on-one counseling with dietitians, this program improves immune function, health outcomes, and hope.
With recent federal funding cuts, community support like this is everything. 💚

🌈 Together, we’re fighting food insecurity and advancing health equity, one meal, one supplement, one person at a time.

📞 Starting July 17, the 988 “Press 3” LGBTQ+ option is being removed.
This dedicated lifeline has been a compassionate beacon for more than 1.3 million LGBTQ+ youth in crisis.

At Prisma, we know losing specialized attention has consequences. But we also believe in the power of community and creativity to fill these spaces.

🌈 Here’s our hopeful plan:
1️⃣ Team up with community-based organizations to expand mental health support
2️⃣ Boost peer-led & affirming hotlines like The Trevor Project and Trans Lifeline
3️⃣ Amplify voices demanding that lawmakers protect these essential services

Everyone deserves support that understands who they are. Let’s step up. Share, donate, volunteer. Because hope grows when we grow together 🌱

As Pride Month wraps up, we want to thank everyone who showed up, celebrated, and connected with us all month long at Prisma.

But Pride isn’t just one month. We carry that spirit with us every single day as we continue to show up for our 2SLGBTQ+ community with affirming, inclusive, and high-quality care. We’re here for you every day because you deserve to be seen, heard, and healthy all year long.🏳️‍🌈💫

56 years ago, the patrons of the Stonewall Inn turned bricks into a bullhorn, pushing back against oppression and pushing all of us toward liberation.
The June 28, 1969, uprising ignited modern LGBTQ+ liberation, proving that when community fights back, progress follows.

📚 Fast-forward to 2025: from banned books to barriers at the clinic door, efforts to shrink access to essential care still won’t quiet our community.

At Prisma, every letter in 2SLGBTQIA+ matters.

Healthcare is only “affirming” if it affirms everyone. Whether you need PrEP, primary care, or a quick dose of q***r joy, our doors stay open.

✨ How do we honor Stonewall in healthcare now?
1. Listening first—no agenda, no judgment.
2. Prescribing evidence-based care and unconditional respect.
3. Calling out policies that endanger 2SLGBTQIA+ bodies.

You are seen, you are celebrated, and together we can protect the health and dignity of our community.
