On October 19 and 20, over 20,000 attendees showed out for the annual Phoenix Pride Festival and Parade, and NOAH’s presence stood out. Myesha Goudeau recalls that throughout the parade, spectators enthusiastically shouted, “I love NOAH” and “I go there!”.
One long-term patient approached the NOAH team to share his gratitude for the care he’s received over the years, expressing pride in seeing his healthcare provider represented at such a significant event. Another patient even approached our team to tell them about the excellent treatment they’ve received from NOAH providers at Desert Mission!
NOAH distributed a range of swag items, including rainbow fans, pens, and HIV prevention kits, which were a big hit with attendees.
Special thanks to Myesha Goudeau and Joe Slama for their hard work in organizing the event, and thank you to the friends, family, and NOAH employees who dedicated their weekend to supporting NOAH’s mission!
