Celebrating Diversity: AAPI Heritage Month and LGBTQIA+ Pride Month

“Healthy is for everyone” means striving for equitable access to high quality health care services for every person in San Mateo County. That’s why we celebrate the diversity of the community we have proudly served since 1987.

We also highlighted programs and resources we offer to help our AAPI members stay healthy.

We also offered tips for how people can  support their LGBTQIA+ family members, friends, neighbors and coworkers.
