Our Goals for the Mid-Hudson Valley Community

 

In alignment with our national mandate, the Mid-Hudson Valley Alumnae Chapter's World AIDS Day initiatives are focused on:

​

• Increasing Community Understanding: Providing accurate and current information about HIV/AIDS prevention, transmission, and treatment.

• Reducing Stigma: Fostering a supportive environment and encouraging open dialogue to eliminate the shame associated with the illness.

• Emphasizing Disproportionate Impact: Highlighting the critical need for testing and education, particularly within communities disproportionately affected, such as Black women.

• Advocacy and Support: Providing resources and commemorating those who have lost their lives to AIDS.

​

We encourage you to mark your calendars and join us as we work together to promote health, wellness, and global awareness right here in the Mid-Hudson Valley.
