The Pride Center at Equality Park celebrated the grand opening and ribbon cutting of its new Sexual Health Clinic today, expanding access to no-cost, judgment-free sexual healthcare for everyone in South Florida through its Wellness at The Center program.
Community members, local leaders and healthcare professionals gathered to commemorate the opening of the clinic, which offers comprehensive sexual health services in a welcoming, inclusive environment where care meets community.
The new clinic provides no-cost PrEP and PEP, rapid HIV testing and linkage to care, STI screening and treatment, along with sexual health education and prevention resources.
The Sexual Health Clinic is part of Wellness at The Center, The Pride Center’s integrated health and wellness program that provides comprehensive care designed to support the overall well-being of the community. In addition to sexual healthcare, Wellness at The Center offers mental health counseling, care navigation, support groups, prevention education and wellness programs including yoga, meditation and holistic wellness classes, creating a one-stop destination for care.
