Get tested, know your status. Gift card to the first 20 people tested for HIV at Affinity Health Center on February 7, 2018 during our regular testing hours between 8:30 am to 6:00 pm. This year’s event marks the 18th year for National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD), a national HIV testing and treatment community mobilization initiative targeted at Blacks in the United States and the Diaspora. NBHAAD was founded in 1999 as a national response to the growing HIV and AIDS epidemic in African American communities.

The NBHAAD initiative leverages a national platform to educate, bring awareness, and mobilize the African American community. NBHAAD has four key focus areas which encourage people to:

Get Educated about HIV and AIDS;
Get Involved in community prevention efforts;
Get Tested to know their status; and
Get Treated to receive the continuum of care needed to live with HIV/AIDS

Join us on February 7th. Get tested, learn more about HIV, and share what you learned using #SOLVEHIV #NBHAAD18 on social media.

Affinity Health Center is one step closer to providing better access to comprehensive quality healthcare in York County. You and your family will find it easier to get an appointment and have access to expanded services like dental and mental health when we move to our new building this summer. It’s sad to think about leaving our current building behind. On the upside, we’ll be right around the bend and we’re hoping to gain a great neighbor when it sells. If your business or organization is in the market for a new home, this one is well loved and maintained. Plus, you can’t beat the beautiful location in Tech Park South.

We’re super excited to let you know that we’re part of an amazing campaign called the Newman’s Own Foundation $500k Holiday Challenge, a friendly fundraising competition where organizations compete to raise the most money for their cause throughout the holiday season.

We’re looking for our supporters to give as much as they can so we can win the grand prize of $150,000. And to help, each week there are Bonus Challenges which are opportunities to raise even more money and win extra cash for our cause.

The first one starts today, and for every $500 raised online by our organization between November 21st at 12pm ET and November 28th at 11:59:59pm ET, you will be entered for a chance to win $2,500. There will be 1 winner each day for a total of 8 winners.

To help, please Click Here and give what you can.

If you want to go a step further and join our fundraising team, that would be even more incredible. Imagine the money we could raise together if you reached out to your network about our cause. To donate or to join the fundraising team, please Click Here or use the donation button below.

Thank you so much and we really appreciate all of your help.

Women want options. After months of planning, we’re now able to provide more low maintenance birth control options to our patients. Our women’s health team at the Fort Mill satellite site had the honor of placing Affinity’s first IUDs and contraceptive implants this week. Congratulations to Fort Mill team members, Certified Nurse Midwife, Julie Blackman (right) and Medical Office Assistant, Jackie Brown (left) along with the hard work of many Affinity staff and community partners that helped make this happen. If you want to know more about these long acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs), ask about contraceptive options at your next appointment.
