Government Affairs operates unilaterally and within a broad range of coalitions—from the California Alliance of HIV Advocates to AIDS United in Washington, D.C., and with organizations addressing healthcare more broadly, such as the California Primary Care Association and the Community Clinic Association of Los Angeles County. We support initiatives such as the Ryan White Program, prevention programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Housing Opportunities for People Living With AIDS, the AIDS Drug Assistance Program, Medicaid, Medicare, and healthcare reform.
We also advocate for strengthening and expanding the nation’s network of federally qualified health centers, such as our Gleicher/Chen Health Center and Long Beach Health Center, which provide primary healthcare, behavioral health, dental care, and prevention and education services to low-income LGBTQ+ people and people living with HIV locally.
