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.

In May, we celebrated Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI)  Heritage Month. On our website and social media platforms, we spotlighted AAPI health care trailblazers who have advanced the field of  medicine over the decades. We also highlighted programs and resources we offer to help our AAPI members stay healthy.

In June, we celebrated LGBTQIA+ Pride Month. We used our website and social  media platforms to . We also promoted local pride events and the San Mateo Pride Center as a valuable community resource. We also offered tips for how people can  support their LGBTQIA+ family members, friends, neighbors and coworkers.
