Network forms a unique partnership with five of the nation's
preeminent medical centers and children's hospitals. This network
will not only permit these institutions, their physicians and
scientists to work together but also will help forge public
and private partnerships to support research and training. Their mission is to provide the community with the knowledge and resources necessary to live long and well with HIV and prevent the spread of the disease. They have a unique clinical trials program as a part of our agency which allows new medications to reach our clients through the trials prior to FDA approval. They also have naturopathic therapies helping those with HIV to have a better quality of life. They actively work in the community providing prevention, outreach and education to stop the spread of the disease.
