Display Hosts: Siouxland Community Health • Clarke College
Display Host: Siouxland Community Health - Since 1997, Siouxland Community Health Center has provided services as a grantee of the Ryan White Program. The service area includes a 24-county region of northwest Iowa, northeast Nebraska, and southeast South Dakota, an area that is comprised of the urban area and several surrounding rural communities. In its 23-year history as a Ryan White Program grantee, SCHC has achieved an integrated and comprehensive approach to HIV care, testing, and prevention to reach a population that is culturally and demographically diverse, and those most at risk. Collectively, these services are designed to address the national HIV/AIDS key strategies for no new infections. This year, our panel display is in memorial of all lives lost to HIV/AIDS throughout northwest Iowa, northeast Nebraska, and southeast South Dakota.
Display Host: Clarke College - Clarke College is proud to offer a virtual Quilt display here, 24 years to the day after our groundbreaking display that brought 83 sections of Quilt here in 1996. Over 5,000 people visited the Clarke display and almost 1,000 students, from kindergarten through twelfth grade, participated in education sessions sponsored by the Clarke nursing department all under the direction of Michelle Watters, Clarke College campus ministry.“ Though the Clarke display of the AIDS Memorial Quilt was 24 years ago, I remember it as clearly as yesterday. It was a profound experience for me, and for thousands of people from the Dubuque area! To observe people of all ages—the very old and the young—walking silently among the quilt pieces was truly a spiritual experience! We are so delighted to participate again this year, virtually in this time of CoVid.
