Kaiser Permanente has announced the national Community Benefit Community-Based HIV Test and Treat Initiative as part of their continuing effort to improve the health and well being of racial and ethnic minorities, and to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in health care and health outcomes, specifically related to HIV disease. The goals of this initiative support Healthy People 2020, a comprehensive set of disease prevention and health promotion objectives for the nation to achieve over the first decades of the 21st Century (www.healthypeople.gov). A focus of Healthy People 2020 is on the elimination of health disparities and reduction of HIV rates among different segments of the population. The Community-based HIV Test and Treat Initiative also aligns with the United States’ first domestic HIV/AIDS strategy (NHAS), released in 2010.
Program goals and application information are available here. Applications are due no later than by 12pm, May 17, 2013 PST. [Source: Kaiser Permanente]
