through advocacy, case management, outreach, and referral. We strive for
community involvement in achieving this goal.
HIV Client Services work collaboratively with the MetroWest Medical Center, UMass Memorial Health Care, the Boston Public Health Commission and the HIV/AIDS Bureau of the MA Department of Public Health. To increase community awareness and optimize the delivery of care, we maintain and encourage inter-agency networking and attend regional meetings. By utilizing local and regional resources, it is our goal to increase the range of services for individuals with or affected by HIV/AIDS and provide a continuum of care.

Ryan White 1971-1990
Ryan White was diagnosed as a child with AIDS in 1984. He became a
pioneer activist. He struggled to continue attending school and get
needed services to improve his health.
Ryan and his family worked very hard to fight the ignorance and fear
surrounding HIV and AIDS. Just a few months after Ryan’s death the Ryan White CARE Act was passed
by Congress and continues still today. It is used to improve the quality
and availability of care for people with HIV and AIDS and their affected
families.
