| Project Description: |
| Polk County currently has no HIV/AIDS community based organization providing services to its residents. The Polk HIV/AIDS Initiative's (PHI) goal is to develop a sense of responsibility within the County's minority communities to take positive steps toward a healthier and safer lifestyle. Program activities will be focused on information dissemination, media outreach, material production, training, and education. In addition, PHI will seek to establish a bilingual/multi cultural Community Based Organization. |
