World AIDS Day 2011- “Getting to Zero”

The first World AIDS Day (WAD) happened 23 years ago on December 1st to raise awareness of what became, and arguably still remains, the most stigmatized virus on our planet. Stigma is defined as “a connotation of disgrace associated with certain things”. Stigma continues to impact millions of people around the world, and stigma is intrinsically linked to the reason approximately 60 million people have contracted the virus.

The holiday season will soon be upon us, which means that the Annual Holiday Client Dinner is coming up! Clients of RHAC are invited to attend the Annual Client Holiday Dinner, to be held on December 12th at the Byron Community Church (336 Glenrose Dr., Byron). The festivities start at 5:00 pm, with dinner at 6:00 and Santa Claus arriving at 7:30.

There will be a traditional holiday dinner, raffles, door prizes and gift bags. Transportation is available, but you will need to RSVP.

The Grand Bend Area Community Health Center is hosting a Well Women's Health Day on November 22nd at 7 pm. The event will feature RHAC's Bonnie Baynham presenting on Women's Sexual Health, as well as presentations from Mickey Gurbin on Women and Anxiety and a presentation called Health by Chocolate! from Miranda Burgess. Additionally, breast and pap exams will be available to women without a health care provider on site from 9 am - 4 pm that day.
