New York: Clinic Gets $145,000 Grant
August 14, 2003 AIDS Community Services in Buffalo, N.Y., received a
$145,000 federal grant for its Evergreen Health Services clinic.
The clinic serves 450 clients a year in a family setting. The
two-year "capacity building grant" from the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services will help to expand services for those
most in need and to monitor those needs. "The only way to
successfully address the complex issues surrounding the HIV/AIDS
public health epidemic, particularly in high-risk populations, is
to build capacity while incorporating a continuum of on-site
intensive services [to ensure] that all individuals receive the
care they need," the federal agency said. AIDS Community Services
provides medical, supportive, and preventive services and
encourages individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles and
behavioral changes.
