| The Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS
Resources Emergency (CARE) Act is Federal legislation that addresses the
unmet health needs of persons living with HIV disease (PLWH) by funding
primary health care and support services. The CARE Act was named after
Ryan White, an Indiana teenager whose courageous struggle with HIV/AIDS
and against AIDS-related discrimination helped educate the nation. Ryan
died in 1990 at the age of 18.
Using Ryan White's name for CAMC's program recognizes the generous federal funding that makes it possible to provide services to individuals in 19 southern West Virginia counties. For more information on Ryan, visit www.ryanwhite.com |
