Happy Juneteenth -- a day of recognition, restoration and celebration. On June 19, 1865 nearly nine decades after our Nation’s founding, and more than 2 years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation enslaved Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally received word that they were free from bondage. As those who were formerly enslaved were recognized for the first time as citizens, Black Americans came to commemorate Juneteenth with celebrations across the country, building new lives and a new tradition that we honor today. "Juneteenth not only commemorates the past. It calls us to action today."

This is why you should get vaccinated even if you had COVID-19

Weight loss was once thought to be simply an issue of how many calories you eat versus how many calories you burn. However, the conversation around weight loss is becoming more complicated as researchers look into everything from gut bacteria to hormone levels to chronic inflammation to sleep quality to stress levels as influences on a person’s weight and metabolism. This is where acupuncture can be a useful addition to efforts to lose weight. T.H.E. provides acupuncture as ...a service to patients. Call (323) 730-1920 to make an appointment to see if acupuncture might benefit you. Acupuncture is not a magic bullet that will make the pounds simply fall off. However, it can be a helpful adjunct to weight loss efforts because it supports overall physical and emotional health. Specifically, it helps balance the major systems of the body, including the nervous system, immune system, and hormones. To learn more visit https://loom.ly/xoLviAk

Your health is our priority at T.H.E. Our goal is to make sure you feel completely comfortable discussing all aspects of your health sexual, behavioral or physical. Should you test positive for HIV, you will receive immediate treatment from our staff, and get connected to important resources at our clinic and in the community. Even if you are in a monogamous relationship (both you and your partner are having sex only with each other), you should find out for sure whether you or your partner has HIV. We encourage sexually active people to get tested every three months. People at higher risk should get tested more often.
