Additions from the AIDS Institute to the New York State Department of Health Website

The following two AIDS Institute reports were recently posted to the New York State Department of Health website:

The report on the listening forums that the Director held throughout the State has been posted. The report is entitled, 2008 Listening Forums: Summary and 2009 Progress Report. Twenty-four forums were held in seven regions: Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, Hudson Valley, Long Island, and New York City (two were held in NYC). Each day consisted of three forums: a morning session for clinicians; a mid-day forum for consumers; and an afternoon forum for non-clinical providers. The report consists of the following:

  • an introduction and description of the report
  • a description of the State’s system of HIV/AIDS services
  • a description of overarching issues that were raised at the forums that are not necessarily specific to the AIDS Institute
  • a description of the issues that were raised statewide
  • a status report and examples of progress on the statewide issues
  • regional reports on the issues that were raised in each region

The final Ryan White Statewide Coordinated Statement of Need (SCSN) and Comprehensive Plan was posted. The draft had been posted for some time. The final report incorporates comments received on the draft in writing and via regional call-in sessions. The report includes a chapter describing the community response.
