Why We Can Offer This

VURA is a nonprofit healthcare organization working to increase access to sexual health services. Through our program, eligible patients can have their monthly insurance premiums covered, so they can get the care they need, including testing, prevention, treatment, and more.

More people with insurance means healthier individuals, stronger communities, and fewer barriers to care.
