Today is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (2/7/12) and St. Hope Foundation/OfferingHope.Org is providing free HIV testing at all locations including MyWellness-Xpress at Sharpstown Center.

On January 26, 2012 I attended the launch of a Faith Leaders Symposium in Houston, TX hosted by Metropolitan Interdenominational Church Technical Assistance Network (MICTAN). I was most inspired by Dr. Mindy Thompson Fullilove’s presentation that addressed systematic poverty in America.

National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day was founded by five national organizations funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1999 to provide capacity building assistance to Black communities and organizations.

Join KTRK’s Melanie Lawson and Dr. Sherri Simpson on Thursday February 9th from 7pm-8:30pm at the Ensemble Theatre (3535 Main Street, Houston, TX 77002) for a lively discussion on Black Women’s Health and the new book Health First: The Black Woman’s Wellness Guide.

St. Hope Foundation will be closed TODAY (1/16/12) in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday. Normal business hours will resume 1/17/12.

St. Hope Foundation is proud to announce that it has received a competitive grant award from the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The grant will be used to fund a new program called Project SOUL.
