9,630 people living with HIV or AIDS in Miami-Dade County were served by the Ryan White Program in 2008 at a cost of $21,317,435.

Services provided by the Ryan White Program include case management, medical and dental care, substance abuse treatment, transportation assistance and more.

As the official planning council for HIV/AIDS services in Miami-Dade County, the Miami-Dade HIV/AIDS Partnership is responsible for determining service priorities and allocation of funds.

People Living With HIV/AIDS, care givers, health care professionals, government officials and other community members are working toward the Partnership′s vision: To eliminate disparities and improve health outcomes for all people living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS.

The Partnership and its committees have various membership opportunities. If HIV/AIDS and the Ryan White Program are meaningful to you, we invite you to join us in this important work.
