JSI at the National Ryan White HIV Conference
December 7th, 2018 | news
JSI’s work in HIV focuses on reducing new infections, increasing access to continuous treatment and services, addressing stigma and discrimination, and reducing health inequities. We build capacity to help ensure that services address the needs of people at risk for or living with HIV, while reducing or eliminating disparities in access to care and health outcomes.
Join JSI at the National Ryan White Conference on HIV Care and Treatment, December 11-14, 2018 in Oxon Hill, MD, to discuss the implementation and requirements of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS program and how our projects support the delivery, coordination, evaluation, and improvement of HIV services across the U.S.
Stop by the JSI booths #8, #9, and #10 and attend the following presentations by our featured projects:
The Community HIV/AIDS Technical Assistance and Training for Planning project (Planning CHATT) builds the capacity of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part A planning councils and planning bodies (PC/PB) across the US to fulfill their legislative responsibilities, strengthen consumer engagement, and increase the involvement of community providers in HIV service delivery planning.

They then examine the impact on improving health outcomes and addressing disparities. This enables those supported by HRSA HAB to gain an understanding of successful approaches and disseminate that knowledge to RWHAP recipients and subrecipients. Coming soon to TargetHIV.org!
