Overview

Mission

The mission of the alliance for positive health is to reduce the impact and incidence of HIV/AIDS and other serious medical and social conditions in northeastern ny.

What it reported doing in 2024

Grant program services: combatting HIV and its related epidemics of sexually transmitted infection, opioid addiction, and mental health crises born out of poverty, stigma, and injustice. The agency provides comprehensive services for those at risk for and living with HIV/AIDS in the 15 counties of the northeastern New York region for the past 40 years. Clients access care coordination services, substance use outreach and referral services, transportation services, housing retention services, financial assistance services, insurance navigation services, sexually transmitted infections testing, including HIV and hepatitis c, harm and risk reduction services, health literacy education services, and linkage and navigation services (for those sporadically or not engaged in care). Through the agency's array of programs, staff link clients to other services not provided by our agency and facilitate access to services that remove barriers to a client's achievement of positive health outcomes. Last year, the agency served over 6,400 clients providing 43,500 direct services, including 98,000 meals, 10,450 care coordination services, 550 rides to medical appointments, 16,300 substance use and harm reduction-related services, and performed approximately 2,285 HIV/sti/hvc screenings.
