Due to low rates of insurance coverage, discrimination, and a lack of cultural competency in the health care system, LGBTQIA+ people are at a higher risk for cancer, mental illnesses, and are more likely to smoke, abuse alcohol and drugs, and engage in other risky behaviors. Barriers to care often delay treatment until a condition is extremely difficult or even impossible to manage or cure.
By removing barriers to health services and closing the gap of disparities LGTBQIA+ persons face in receiving care, the Coastal Bend PRIDE Center and Coastal Bend Wellness Foundation programs can improve health outcomes for our loved ones and our community. CBWF is dedicated to providing the best health and wellness services that are sensitive to the unique needs of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Services are available and affordable to everyone, with some services provided based on a sliding fee scale.
Programs for LGBTQIA+ include the following:

The parade will start at 4pm sharp and head south along Shoreline Blvd. to the end of Water’s Edge Park. Afterwards, parade volunteers are encouraged to join us in the festivities at the Block Party located on the great lawn of Water’s Edge Park.
