We fight for health equity and will use our collective voices to challenge and navigate health and social injustices. Through the employment of harm reduction and wellness principles, we work to end HIV and other related health disparities.

Challenges still exist, and our work is far from over. Our staff of over 100 employees and more than 75 volunteers collaborate tirelessly to:

• Stop the spread of HIV, sexually transmitted infections, and Hepatitis C through education and prevention strategies;
• Provide wellness and behavioral health services;
• Meet the unique needs of the diverse HIV community (gay, bisexual, transgender, women, addicts) through safe and supportive programs;
• Address stigma, housing challenges, and barriers to care and treatment; and,
• Educate lawmakers and lobby for corrective/progressive legislation on HIV-related issues.
