Bridging the Gap: Ensuring PrEP Access and STI Care in Uncertain Times
TLDR: Provide free PrEP care to your community in partnership with TBD Health
In a landscape where access to vital healthcare services is increasingly precarious, Lighthouse stands as a beacon of support for AIDS/HIV and LGBTQIA+ organizations across California. We understand the immense dedication and expertise you bring to your communities, and we recognize the strain of expanding service offerings without the necessary resources.
The potential elimination of the CDC's HIV Prevention division by the new US administration threatens to create a devastating void in federal funding, jeopardizing PrEP access and critical STI care. This looming uncertainty underscores the urgent need for innovative solutions that empower organizations to continue serving their communities effectively.
That's why Lighthouse is forging a crucial partnership with TBD Health, a leading provider of accessible and comprehensive sexual health services. We are acting as a vital liaison, connecting your organizations directly with TBD Health's founders, enabling you to offer PrEP and comprehensive STI-related healthcare to your patients and clients, completely free of charge.
Imagine offering your community streamlined access to:
PrEP prescriptions and ongoing management: Ensuring consistent access to this essential preventative medication.
Comprehensive STI testing and treatment: Addressing a critical need within the LGBTQIA+ community and beyond.
Virtual consultations with knowledgeable healthcare professionals: Providing convenient and confidential access to expert care.
Educational resources and support: Empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their sexual health.
TBD Health's process is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing services, minimizing administrative burdens and maximizing impact. We understand the resource constraints you face, and this partnership is designed to alleviate those constraints.
We invite you to take the first step towards empowering your community. Join us in April (weekly sessions) for a 30-minute virtual introductory meeting with TBD Health. This is an opportunity to:
Learn more about TBD Health's innovative offerings and its benefits.
Explore how this partnership can seamlessly integrate with your organization's services.
Ask questions and address any concerns.
Begin to understand the process of onboarding your organization into the TBD Health System of care.
This initial meeting is a crucial step towards securing vital healthcare access for your community, especially in the face of potential funding cuts. Following the initial meeting, we will schedule a longer meeting, virtual or in person, to begin the onboarding process. There are no costs or long contracts, and your commitment to perform earnest outreach to your community is all that’s required. TBD Health also provides readily available marketing materials (print and online), realizing capacity constraints.
In these uncertain times, collaboration is paramount. Let Lighthouse and TBD Health empower you to continue providing essential care, ensuring that your community thrives. Together, we can build a stronger, healthier future.
