On October 29, 2025, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) held an LGBTQ+ community stakeholder listening session about mpox in California. Community based organizations, local health departments, and community advocates were invited to participate.
The purpose of this webinar was to provide updates about the recent reports of community spread of clade I mpox in California, what CDPH is doing to address it, and what you need to know. CDPH would like to thank everyone who registered and attended the session.
