Palm Beach County is one of seven counties in Florida that have been identified as an area where HIV burden is highest. One of the goals of the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative (EHE) is to reduce new HIV infections by 90% by 2030. To reach this lofty goal, Palm Beach County's EHE initiative takes a phased approach of infusing resources to the places that need them the most.
We do this through community outreach and engagement (CORE), rapid entry to care (REC), telehealth adherence (TAC) and other programs. Our case managers are out in the community meeting with clients and peers to ensure that medical care, medications and essential support services are provided to low-income people with HIV.
