Portland, OR | December 2, 2016 - Cascade AIDS Project (CAP) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded $15,000 from the Kaiser Permanente and $24,500 from the Miller Charitable Fund at The Oregon Community Foundation to support the opening of CAP’s LGBTQ+ Primary Care Health Center: Prism Health.

“We are thrilled to receive this support from both Kaiser Permanente and the Miller Charitable Fund in support of Prism Health,” said CAP’s Executive Director, Tyler TerMeer. “Both grants will help offset renovation costs and ultimately will enable us to open on time and on budget.”

Prism Health, an LGBTQ+ Primary Care Health Center, slated to open in early 2017 and conveniently located at 2236 SE Belmont Street in Portland, Oregon, will offer a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space where all members of the LGBTQ+ community can obtain the compassionate and culturally effective health care they need and deserve. In addition to comprehensive primary care, it is anticipated that the LGBTQ+ Primary Care Health Center will offer specialized services for the transgender community, HIV and sexually transmitted disease testing, mental health counseling, and integrated pharmacy services.
