Display Hosts: Chevron Louisiana • Access Health AIDS Education & Training Center
Display Host: Chevron Louisiana - We strive to empower people around the world to improve their lives, achieve their aspirations and meet their full potential. At Chevron, we work to make the world a better place. Our partnerships and investments in health, education and economic development advance progress and strengthen communities. Our commitment to workforce and community public health -- past, present and future -- continues today through these symbols, our health programs, community engagement initiatives and partnerships. Chevron was the first oil and gas company to implement a global HIV/AIDS policy, and since 2008, we have invested over $70 million in the fight against this and other deadly diseases. Chevron is proud to be a display host for this important virtual exhibition, curating displays for California, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Throughout the AIDS crisis Chevron employees have been making Quilt panels to honor employees and loved ones lost to AIDS. Each World AIDS Day our employees pick a theme and together they sew with passion, love and with hope that we one day will find a cure. In this display, we feature four of those Chevron Quilt panels that were hand-made by our team members, as well as four Quilt blocks that are part of the AIDS Memorial Quilt.
Display Host: Access Health AIDS Education & Training Center - The Aids Education and Training Center (AETC) at Access Health is part of a national network of AETCs’, developed by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), U.S. Public Health Service, and the Department of Health and Human Services to provide customized multi-disciplinary training programs for healthcare providers treating persons at-risk or living with HIV. Our regional office, located in New Orleans provides training throughout Louisiana, in partnership with the LSU AETC and the rest of the South Central region. Our trainings count towards requirements set by HRSA for FQHC providers, and we offer a variety of CME/CEU/CE accredited courses.
The Access Health AETC also partners with Ending the HIV Epidemic, under the Primary Care HIV Prevention (PCHP) grant funding. PCHP funding is used to expand HIV prevention services that decrease the risk of HIV transmission in geographic locations identified by Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America, which focuses on supporting access to, and use of, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
