Speaker- Laura Byrne, Executive Director HIV/HCV Resource Center in Lebanon
The mission of HIV/HCV Resource Center is to support and empower those whose lives are affected by HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C to live fully and with dignity and to stop the spread of these diseases through education, information, and understanding.
Originally founded 26 years ago by volunteers as a support network for their friends who were sick and dying from AIDS related illnesses, the HIV/HCV Resource Center is now a comprehensive AIDS Service Organization. Located in Lebanon, New Hampshire, we offer a wide range of services that include individual/family case management, support groups, assistance with transportation to medical and mental health appointments, emergency financial and resource assistance (including housing, fuel, food, clothing and medical needs), HIV and HCV testing, and prevention education. In 2005, we expanded our mission to include individuals infected with and affected by Hepatitis C, and opened our syringe exchange in 2006. All of our services are free of charge to residents of Windsor and Orange counties in Vermont and Grafton and Sullivan counties in New Hampshire.
This and more information may be found on their website.
