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:

It was wonderful to see so many of people of the LGBTQ+ community and our allies come out and speak in support of keeping books about diversity and inclusion in our public libraries. Your presence and voices at the city hall meeting on Tuesday were powerful and essential.
If you were unaware, the Corpus Christi Library Board has formed a subcommittee that is trying to change the Library Collection Development Policy. Some of the women on the board and subcommittee are known to be members of the Moms for Liberty & Citizens Defending Freedom, two organizations who have goals to rid public entities of DEI protections and silence LGBTQ+ and diverse voices.
Tuesday, a group of concerned citizens went to the Corpus Christi City Council meeting to raise awareness and share our concerns regarding this subcommittee. Now, we continue to watch the Library Board to see what actions they take and we will stay in touch with our local elected officials so they can help us with our concerns.
Together, we will continue to advocate for a library collection that represents and respects everyone. Thank you for your unwavering support and commitment to inclusion and diversity!
