Mèsi ak tout patisipan yo ki te vin jwenn nou pou omaj nou te 1ye Desanm

Aswè a te yon moman pou sonje zanmi ak moun nou te pèdi yo epi selebre pwogrè ekstraòdinè a. Sa ki pi enpòtan, se te yon tan pou nou rekomande tèt nou nan objektif pou reyalize yon jenerasyon ki pa gen SIDA. Anplis, se te yon moman pou nou reflechi sou ki jan nou te rive depi kòmansman epidemi SIDA a.

Mèsi a patwone omaj nou yo ki enkli GILEAD Sciences, Inc, ViiV Healthcare, Janssen Therapeutics, Walgreens, Lexi Goza ak State Farm Insurance, ak Jaxson Maximus. Mèsi a òganizasyon sa yo ak moun ki te bay yon pyès atis pou ekspoze pandan aswè a. Yo enkli Sant Art ak Kilti nan Hollywood, World AIDS Museum, ak Hotspots Media Group. Yon remèsiman espesyal ale nan United Houses of South Florida ki gen ladan House of Gorgeous Gucci, The House of Escada, ak The House of Milan. Yon remèsiman espesyal ale tou pou pèfòmè omaj nou yo Randolph Ward, Daisy DeadPetals, ak pèfòmè sa yo nan Next Level Dance Company, ak Noah Star Dance Company.

Aswè a se te yon opòtinite tou pou rekonèt enpòtans kolaborasyon k ap ogmante nan reyalizasyon nou yo jiskaprezan, e nou vle remèsye nou, patnè san fatige nou yo, lidè kominotè yo, ak anplwaye yo, ki te nan batay avèk nou depi lontan.

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 Green.

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 Pwogram Lavi Sante nan Inivèsite Entènasyonal Florida, Sistèm Bibliyotèk Piblik Miami-Dade. Patenarya Broward pou moun ki san kay ak fanm ki nan detrès. Nailin Morera, Espesyalis Prevansyon ak Terapis Entèn Jèn ak Fanmi k ap resevwa prim yo. Mèsi, Paul Thomas, paske w te bay powèm ou sou lanmou ak lespwa ki gen tit "ZERO." Klike la a li.

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. Whether you have lost someone to HIV, COVID-19, substance abuse, or anything else, this space will offer the possibility for you to honor them. Klike la a yo aprann plis.
