JCCSI was awarded a grant from Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) for the Part D program in August 1999. Part D is unique from other HRSA funded programs because our focus is on women, infants, children, and youth (WICY) and their families who are infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. As part of our commitment to fulfill the goals of Part D, we have begun planning for this monumental occasion to take place on March 7-8, 2013. The theme for the conference is entitled, “Uniting In The Fight To End HIV/AIDS.”
