The program is designed to introduce people to engaging opportunities available in our community. Each month, community organizations offer information about classes, volunteer opportunities, and clubs so interested individuals can explore the options.

This full-day symposium is focused on the evolving needs of older adults living with HIV. This event brings together clinicians, social service providers, and community partners to explore person-centered, age-inclusive approaches that strengthen care across the lifespan.

Participants will engage in educational sessions, collaborative discussions, and a multidisciplinary panel addressing the future of HIV and aging services. Six (6) CEUs will be available to eligible professionals.

Whether attending in person or virtually, you’ll gain practical insights that support high-quality care for aging populations.
