La iniciativa "Test Miami" es un esfuerzo de colaboración entre el Departamento de Salud de Florida y el Departamento de Salud del Condado de Miami-Dade, organizaciones comunitarias, organizaciones religiosas, proveedores de atención médica, el Centro de Desarrollo para la Investigación del SIDA de la Universidad de Miami, Florida International Escuela Universitaria de Salud Pública y Escuela de Periodismo, Universidad Nova Southeastern, Escuela de Salud Pública Rollins de la Universidad Emory, funcionarios de la ciudad, condado, estado y nacional y ciudadanos preocupados que tienen como objetivo poner fin a la epidemia del VIH / SIDA, una importante amenaza para la salud de Miami -Condado de Dade. 

Care Resource received the Exceptional Performance Awards in “HIV Testing” and “Linkage to Care.”

Care Resource understands that HIV testing and Linkage to Care are crucial for successful HIV treatment. Delayed linkage impacts medical outcomes and HIV transmission; it creates longer time for viral suppression and increases the risk of hospitalization. Linkage lays the groundwork for future retention in care. This award reflects Care Resource’s excellence in the field of HIV/AIDS as it works to fulfill its mission and have a positive impact on Miami-Dade communities.
