Welcome to the Greater Hampton Roads HIV Service Planning Council
Supporting health. Empowering voices. Building community.
​
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program helps ensure that people living with HIV have access to the medical care, support services, and resources they need to live long, healthy lives. Our work is guided by the belief that the community itself should shape the services they rely on.
​
Through the federally mandated Planning Council, we bring together people living with HIV, health providers, and community members to make decisions on how Ryan White Part A funds are spent in the Norfolk Transitional Grant Area (TGA). Together, we ensure accountability, transparency, and better health outcomes for all.
