OUR MISSION
Our mission is to lead the fight against HIV/AIDS through innovative solutions, compassionate care, and unwavering advocacy.
We are dedicated to driving policy changes that address systemic barriers and improve outcomes for local communities affected by HIV/AIDS.
By fostering collaboration, education, and resilience, we strive to eliminate stigma, ensure equitable access to healthcare, and create a future free from HIV/AIDS.
WHO ARE WE?
The Jersey City AIDS Task Force operates under the Jersey City Department of Health and Human Services, within the Division of Community Health and Wellness.
The Task Force is coordinated by Linda Ivory-Green, the Division Director of Community Health and Wellness.
The Task Force holds a monthly meeting with its member organizations to collaboratively assess community needs, plan strategic initiatives, and implement HIV/AIDS-related programs and services throughout Jersey City. These efforts aim to enhance prevention, education, testing, treatment, and support services for individuals affected by or at risk of HIV/AIDS.
The Task Force is composed of a diverse group of partner organizations, including healthcare providers, community-based organizations, advocacy groups, and public health agencies. These organizations work together to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the city.
