LGBTQ+ Wellness has remained a core area of advocacy from Project MORE’s inception. Community feedback and public health data continue to underscore health disparities, discrimination, and barrier to accessing affordable, inclusive, competent healthcare and wellness services. This is why we have worked extensively to educate, advocate, and connect the queer community with the resources they need to live healthy lives through initiatives like Holly Wellness.
HollyWellness is a community intuitive of Project MORE in partnership with the Santa Clara County Office of LGBTQ Affairs and the County of Santa Clara Public Health Department with the generous support of Safeway. Special thanks to our community partners Kneaded, LGBTQ Youth Space, and Rebekah Children’s Services.
HollyWellness details are subject to change without notice. All attendees are required to abide by all California and County of Santa Clara health and safety guidelines, including use of face coverings and physical distancing. Individuals who refuse to abide by such rules, will be asked to leave or denied entry.
All attendees are attending at their own risk and release any and all liability of Project MORE and their presenting and community partners by entering the event.
