Mary Washington Wellness Program/Ryan White Grant: Highlights of 2019

The Mary Washington Wellness Program provides healthcare resources for people living with HIV/AIDS and early intervention services for people with high-risk lifestyles. Our program clientele has increased by over 14% during 2019.

Our team takes a holistic approach in working with program participants. A key focus of 2019 was providing the tools for empowerment in their own care through education. Events were planned to strengthen community relations and wellbeing, recognizing that communities make the difference in HIV treatment and adherence.

2019 highlights:

• Partnered with Gilead Pharmaceuticals and the Rappahannock Area YMCA, Inc. to help clients reach viral suppression.
• Partnered with the Virginia Department of Health to offer free walk-in HIV testing.
• Awarded a new grant from the D.C. Department of Health for Early Intervention Services for the prevention of HIV.
