Gracias a todos los asistentes que nos acompañaron en nuestro homenaje el 1 de diciembre
La noche fue un momento para recordar a los amigos y seres queridos que hemos perdido y celebrar el extraordinario progreso. Lo que es más importante, era el momento de volver a comprometernos con el objetivo de lograr una generación libre de SIDA. Además, fue un momento para reflexionar sobre lo lejos que hemos llegado desde los primeros días de la epidemia del SIDA.

The Russell Corbett Lifetime Volunteer Award was created to recognize the important role of volunteers in Care Resource’s community impact. It was created in honor of Russell Corbett President and Chair of Care Resource Board of Directors, one of the founding members of Health Crisis Network (HCN) in 1983 which leveraged the power of volunteering to engage in the fight against HIV. As mentioned earlier, HCN later merged with Community Research Initiative to become Care Resource. This award recognizes individuals whose consistent service for over 10 years positively impacts South Florida communities and inspires those around them to act, too. In appreciation of his time and dedication to our health centers, from serving as a secret shopper, to serving as our bear mascot during parades and outreach events, during our health center’s annual meetings for many years, the Russell Corbett Lifetime Volunteer Award was presented to walton verde.
Community Partners are essential in accomplishing the mission of Care Resource and helping bring our Miami-Dade and Broward communities closer to ending the HIV Epidemic. The Adrian Mitchell Outstanding Community Partner Award was given to a community partner who has demonstrated excellence in partnering with Care Resource to engage local communities in HIV testing and linkage to medical care. This award was created in honor of Adrian Mitchell, a dearly missed Care Resource employee of 20 years, who dedicated most of her life to HIV prevention efforts, engaging community partners and empowering prevention staff.
The recipients of the award have shown exceptional commitment by opening their doors to HIV prevention activities and actively promoting those services for many years, allowing Care Resource access to hard to reach and vulnerable populations. The award was presented to Programa de Vida Saludable de la Universidad Internacional de Florida, el Sistema de Bibliotecas Públicas de Miami-Dade. la Asociación de Broward para personas sin hogar y mujeres en apuros. Recibirá su premio Nailin Morera, Especialista en Prevención y Terapeuta Interna de Juventud y Familia. Gracias, Paul Thomas, por entregar su poema sobre el amor y la esperanza titulado "CERO".

Thank you to those attendees that joined our health center’s staff on a tour of our new Midtown Miami health center. Federally qualified health centers like Care Resource with comprehensive and integrated health services that address the needs of the whole person have the responsibility to engage vulnerable communities. Our new midtown Miami health center is the built manifestation of the people-centered approach that was in our health center’s vision since the beginning, almost 40 years ago.
Care Resource will inaugurate before the summer of 2023 its first ever Memorial Wall on the first floor of this health center, the only one of its kind in Miami-Dade County.
