Celebrate the wisdom, insight and satisfaction with life that comes from growing older, and find support for the challenges you’re encountering in your years after 50. We have a variety of programs and services that will help you improve your health and quality of life, whatever your HIV status.
We provide HIV services, prevention with PrEP and help managing your relationship to drugs and alcohol. We also have volunteer projects and community social groups that facilitate weekly coffee get-togethers and group dinners. Whatever connection you’re seeking, we have a group or service for you.
