We Did It — Third Place! 🎉

Our Inside Out pumpkins brought the emotions in full color — Anxiety, Disgust, and Sadness never looked so good! After some fierce competition (and a few nervous jitters from Anxiety), we’re proud to share that DPHS took home 3rd place in this year’s pumpkin decorating contest! 🥉🎃

Huge thanks to everyone who helped brainstorm, glue, paint, and deliver our emotional masterpieces.

Here’s to turning feelings into festive fun — and bringing a little joy to the halls of

August 31st is International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD), the world’s largest campaign to end overdose.

“The overdose crisis doesn’t just shatter our families; it fractures our communities. The losses go deeper than one person, one family or one neighborhood. They ripple out into classrooms, workplaces and the spaces we all share. They cross borders between cities, states and nations.”

Today and tomorrow, DPHS staff members are tabling at our locations and in the community, educating people about harm reduction practices and dispensing Naloxone. Together we can save lives.

Happy back to school to all the local kiddos (and their caregivers!) but especially to the 238 children we have seen since June 1 for their well child visits!

Summer is a busy time for school physicals and immunizations and that continues through the end of September. If you or someone you know is still in need of an appointment, come see us!

On this Partner Appreciation Day, we want to shout “thank you” from the rooftops to everyone who makes our work possible. From our boards and committees to our safety net partners and funders, we couldn’t do it without you.

In these unprecedented times, we need to rely on each other’s strengths more than ever. And you can count on all of us to be “all in.”

In 2024, DPHS served patients from a few months old to over 85 years old over 53,715 visits. Year over year, both the number of patients and the number of visits increased, which speaks to the community need and the continuity of care being provided.

Individuals experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity is our primary patient population, representing 73% of patients served in 2024. As of July 1, 2025, we have expanded our scope to include anyone who is facing barriers to care, including individuals living in and around public housing and/or those living with HIV.

“All in? Let’s connect the dots for those in need. Woo!”

Every morning at 8:07, staff from across the agency gather for Morning Huddle, whether at nurses’ stations, in offices or over the phone. This daily ritual serves multiple purposes – to review staffing by location, provide agency updates and education, introduce new staff members, celebrate personal and professional milestones and set the tone for the day.

On Staff Appreciation Day, and every day, this mantra is a reminder that individually and collectively, we are “all in.”
