Although we don't often discuss it openly, suicide disproportionately impacts the LGBTQ+ community, especially trans and gender diverse (TGD) folks. Across all age groups, our community experiences suicidal ideation and suicide attempts at rates at least double those of the general population. Join us on World Suicide Prevention Day, September 10, as we discuss the latest in suicide prevention methods and how you can best support yourself, people in your life, and people in your community in times of crisis. RSVP now at bit.ly/HBH-BHSP #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

Long-time physician, R. Todd Hargan, MD, completed his final appointments in service of the Chicago community last week. We celebrate his more than three decades of service to the community and are so grateful for the vital support and care he provided during the HIV/AIDS crisis and has continued to provide to our community members. Dr. Hargan will forever have a place in the legacy of LGBTQ+ healthcare in Chicago. We wish him the best as he enters a restful and fulfilling retirement. 💜 🎉

🌟 We've had an amazing time in the community over the last couple weeks! 🌟 At the Black Women’s Expo, we provided blood pressure and glucose screenings to 233 attendees and hosted an empowering panel on "Standing on Business for Black Women in HIV/AIDS." At the Bud Billiken Parade, members of the Vernita Gray Council showed up in full force, honoring her legacy and activism by marching for queer visibility in this historic 95-year-old event. We also made a splash at Market Days with free giveaways and connected with new and prospective patients. 🎉 Next up, you can catch us at Fiesta Boricua on Saturday, August 31st from 12 PM to 7 PM offering free HIV rapid testing and blood pressure/glucose screenings. See you there! 🌈 #CommunityCare #StandingOnBusiness #HIVAwareness #BlackWomensExpo #FiestaBoricua
