🌈 This weekend, we had the opportunity to participate in the Puyallup Pride Festival—and what a beautiful day it was! We loved seeing so many families, friends, and community members come together to celebrate in the sunshine.

At PTHA, we honor our LGBTQIA2S+ relatives not just during Pride Month, but all year long. Pride is about being seen, being valued, and being loved as your whole self. We’re proud to stand with our community in celebrating identity, resilience, and belonging—every day.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

The mobile mammogram unit was on-site today, helping patients take a powerful step toward early detection. These screenings save lives — and we’re grateful to everyone who made it out!

We know there’s a high demand for these events and our waitlist fills up quickly. But you don’t have to wait for the mobile unit to get screened. Many of our patients can access mammograms at other nearby locations.

✅ Talk to your primary care provider about your screening options — they can help you schedule one that works for you.

Early detection is key. Take care of yourself and encourage your loved ones to do the same. 💕

We’ve heard that some patients have been confused by online search results or word-of-mouth rumors suggesting that Lincoln Pharmacy is closing. This is not true.

While Lincoln Pharmacy is not part of PTHA, we work closely with them—and we’ve confirmed that they remain open and fully operational.

If you have questions about your prescriptions, please give us a call at (253) 593-0232.

At PTHA, we celebrate Pride Month in July along with the whole Puyallup Tribal community—and we honor our LGBTQ+ relatives every day of the year.

As Native people, we understand what it means to stand up for our rights, our identities, and our place in the world. We walk alongside many others—within our community and beyond—who have faced similar challenges and continue to seek respect, understanding, and safety.

Pride is about being seen, being valued, and being loved as your whole self. At PTHA, your health, your story, and your identity are all sacred.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Last week, we had the honor of celebrating our 2025 graduating resident doctors.

Please join us in congratulating them on the successful completion of their residency at PTHA. We are deeply grateful for the time they spent with us, and for the care, compassion, and commitment they shared with our patients and community.

As they move forward in their journeys, we know they will carry the teachings, traditions, and invaluable experiences gained here at PTHA. We can’t wait to see the impact they’ll make and the paths they’ll forge ahead.
