Each person who walks through our doors has a unique story and a unique set of needs, and APLA Health is ready to assist everyone on their journey towards health.

We are not simply a place to go; we are ourselves a mix of diverse staff committed to respecting and validating all lived experiences. Especially the experiences of our most vulnerable.

APLA Health continues to advocate on behalf of transgender and nonbinary patients across the United States. The Trump administration has allowed doctors and providers to discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals for simply being who they are.

The fight for equality is never easy, but APLA Health has the experience to ensure that no transgender or nonbinary individual faces discrimination in our care.

Hey, missed our email earlier this week? Our first fundraising challenge of the year is here! The top three individual Walkers who raise the most money as of yesterday, August 6 to Tuesday, August 11 will earn a spot on ABC7’s Localish featuring AIDS Walk Los Angeles! We’ll only have one more challenge this year where you can win, and that will be our Teams challenge next week. So if you are a solo Walker, a Star Walker, or even just someone with heart of gold and a story to tell, this is the week to take action! Donations made before August 6 or After August 11 are not eligible for this challenge.

Students of Oakwood School have been participating in AIDS Walk Los Angeles since 1985, and they are not letting a pandemic stop them from organizing! Though it’s been a challenge to maintain their social connection online, the students are playing to their strengths and addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic through their art. They’ve created their own Instagram account, each student has committed to recruiting five friends each to join them, and their goal is to host their own, mini, socially-distant AIDS Walk celebration on September 13th. They have even split their team into three branches amongst all three Walk courses this year. When asked why the students keep coming back year after year, Mickey Morgan, the team’s supervising teacher, said, “You’re not just throwing money at people; you’re providing unequivocally good things for people who unequivocally need it.”
