Partner Highlight:Columbus Public Health
Columbus Public Health has been providing free STI testing services to our community, located at the Church for All People, throughout the summer and will continue to do so through October and into the winter months as well!
The remaining dates are October 15th and October 29th for these free services. There is no appointment necessary!
We are so grateful for the partnership that we have with CPH and can't wait to continue to collaborate with them in the future. They have been a major resource in our community, continuously providing STI testing in a safe, nonjudgemental environment, giving out harm reduction supplies, sending harm reduction teams to our campus on Parsons, and making Narcan and sexual health supplies available!
