VAN NUYS : Valley’s First HIV-AIDS Services Center to Open
The San Fernando Valley’s first AIDS services center will open Sept. 15 in a Van Nuys mini-mall.
The Valley HIV-AIDS Center, funded by federal and city grants, will provide case management for people with AIDS, mental health services for those infected with HIV, support groups in English and Spanish, a food bank and referrals to other services.
“There has not really been a perception that AIDS is a problem in the Valley,” said Greg Britt, who will be one of three coordinators at the center, which will be operated by the Valley Community Clinic, Tarzana Treatment Center and the Silver Lake-based Being Alive organization.
