Thank you so much for joining us for our World AIDS Day commemoration yesterday in Bronzeville! It was an honor to work alongside our friends at Life is Work to fight HIV stigma, highlight the vital work of our peers, and get our community members connected to the care they need.
A big thank you to Mayor Tennes and the Village of Skokie for presenting us with the Public Health Partner of Excellence Award for our work in Skokie each month! We're so proud to help expand equitable access to HIV/STI testing, prevention, and care throughout Chicagoland.
Please tune in for this quick Veteran's Day message from our President and CEO, Dr. Travis Gayles, celebrating those in our community who have served our country.

This morning, the Department of Health and Human Services released a lengthy report on youth gender-affirming care. 1/3 @ChiTherapyColl
