About Us

The 2026 Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards pay tribute to DAP Health’s enduring legacy of expanding health care access for the most vulnerable members of our community. Since its founding as Desert AIDS Project by Palm Springs volunteers in 1984, DAP Health has been at the forefront of breaking down barriers to care and fostering health equity. We invite you to join us in supporting this vital mission. Your tax-deductible contribution will help sustain the life-changing programs and services that make a difference every day in the lives of those who need it most.
