Wellness AIDS Services, Inc.
assists in the care of individuals who are infected/affected by HIV/AIDS, and promotes education and prevention in the community. History
Wellness HIV/AIDS Services, Inc. was formed to serve as a catalyst for the empowerment of people affected by HIV and a leader in HIV-related harm reduction and sensitivity education in our community. In furtherance of this purpose, Wellness will continue to:
o P
rovide and/or advocate for comprehensive and coordinated emotional and physical health care and social services to persons living with HIV and their families. o Facilitate harm reduction for those whose behaviors place them at greatest risk for infection with HIV. o Serve as a community resource for information about HIV. Vision
Wellness HIV/AIDS Services, Inc. will be an independent and financially stable agency with a multi-cultural staff and dozens of well-trained volunteers. Based upon detailed marketing and development plans and a record of quality services, the agency will become recognized as the “premiere” HIV authority in the community it serves. The focus and consolidation of the agency’s efforts will be reflected in its comprehensive model for the prevention of HIV and its effects, following three courses of prevention:
o Primary: To raise awareness and prevent new infection
o Secondary: To prevent the onset of symptoms among those already infected
o Tertiary: To prevent morbidity and morality among those who are already experiencing symptoms
All three approaches will be based upon the most current research conducted in both traditional and nontraditional medicine and the behavioral sciences and will rely heavily upon a family systems approach to harm reduction.
