Our community’s largest gathering of HIV advocates comes together on Saturday, October 29, 2022, to walk toward ending the HIV and AIDS epidemics in the Coachella Valley and to promote health equity and health justice. The 2022 Desert AIDS Walk, presented by Desert Care Network, will be an in-person event beginning at Ruth Hardy Park and following a route through downtown Palm Springs. This family and pet-friendly event include a Health and Wellness Village presented by Walgreens.
The annual Desert AIDS Walk helps fund the vital work of DAP Health.
