POWER TO THE PEOPLE

Despite the progress we’ve made (and continue to make), the South Coast LGBTQ+ community still faces its own unique cultural, educational, health, and economic challenges. We believe information is power. The more we educate ourselves, the better we are able to create a society where LGBTQ+ members feel comfortable and valued.

Seven Hills Behavioral Health in New Bedford is one of the few providers statewide giving out the monkeypox vaccine. Call (774) 634-3725 for an appointment, Monday through Friday, 9:30 am to 4:00 pm.
