DAP Health’s mission is simple. It aims to provide health care for as many people as possible, especially those living with or affected by HIV and AIDs.
“The City of Indio is dedicated to providing resources that better the lives, health and wellness of our residents. We are thrilled to honor and celebrate these two organizations and their expansion and success in our community,” Indio Mayor Waymond Fermon said.

There’s also a new option this year: Moderna’s mFLUSIVA, the first FDA-approved mRNA flu vaccine, for adults 50 and older.
