DAP Health hosts ribbon cutting for new Sexual Wellness Clinic in Indio

The City of Indio invited the community to celebrate the milestones of two critical sister organizations, DAP Health, and Revivals Indio thrift store, on Saturday.

DAP Health is opened a new Sexual Wellness Clinic in Indio, which will expand crucial services and access to comprehensive medical and mental healthcare. Revivals Indio, which donates all of its profits to DAP Health, is celebrated its one-year anniversary.

“The City of Indio is dedicated to providing resources that better the lives, health, and wellness of our residents. We are thrilled to honor and celebrate these two organizations and their expansion and success in our community,” said Indio Mayor Waymond Fermon.

DAP Health, an advocacy-based health center founded in 1984, is Coachella Valley’s primary not-for-profit resource for those living with, affected by, or at risk for HIV or AIDS. Free services at the new Indio clinic will include testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, medication for HIV prevention, and testing for HIV and hepatitis C testing.

With four locations across the Coachella Valley, Revivals donates more than $1 million a year to DAP Health, funding hope and health for those receiving care from the organization’s clinics. Community members can donate gently used goods, consign designer items, or shop new and used furniture, clothing, and more in support of DAP.

“DAP Health’s new clinic allows us to better reach people in need of care across the Valley. Access to services is key to delivering care, and we appreciate the support of the City of Indio in opening this location,” said David Brinkman, DAP Health CEO. “We are also thankful for the community's support of the Indio Revivals store, which raises funds that allow us to offer these services free of charge.”

At the Revivals Indio store ribbon cutting, Telemundo gave away free Telemundo backpacks, free tacos, and an assortment of other family-friendly giveaways.
