The Quilt sections for this virtual display include panels with names of loved from Missouri who we lost to AIDS who are honored and remembered through the beauty of the Quilt.As part of the AIDS Memorial Quilt Virtual Exhibition and Display Program, Vivent Health is hosting a selection of Quilt blocks from the State of Missouri. These serve as a powerful remembrance of the people whose lives were once deeply woven into the fabric of their communities. Each panel tells a unique story — a testament to the incredible scope of personal and collective loss. Each story inspires us, to work toward a common goal of making HIV history and living in a world without AIDS.
