APLA Health has been serving the South Los Angeles community since 2002, when we opened an NOLP food pantry to address a critical lack of food and nutrition services for those living with HIV/AIDS. Working in partnership with the Oasis Clinic at Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital, we added a dental clinic and expanded NOLP in 2009.

Now we are honored to be working with Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science to bring comprehensive medical, dental, behavioral health and sexual health services to more people in our community in South Los Angeles.

Our new 10,000 square foot APLA Health-Willowbrook Health Center, opening in 2021, will serve historically Black and Latinx neighborhoods – communities that face discrimination and are disproportionately impacted by HIV. Caring for people who have been marginalized, stigmatized, and silenced is something APLA Health knows a lot about. Now, as the COVID-19 pandemic is hitting communities of color the hardest and exposing the harsh contrasts in health care access that exist in this country, our new Willowbrook Health Center is needed more than ever.

End of this week = end of this Walk!
First, we just want to say thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and led a team during this AIDS Walk Los Angeles, which has been unlike any we’ve ever put together.

The work isn’t quite done yet though! You still have until September 13 (Sunday) to ask for donations. And there’s a good incentive to keep going this week — our top Walkers will get a special shoutout on AWLA social media after the Walk. So dig in, reach out to your network, and let’s squeeze every last drop of success out of your amazing efforts in 2020!
