testmiamiCare Resource’s Health Promotion and Linkage Department received two awards and one nomination from TESTMiami’s Symposium and Award Ceremony held on Thursday, December 8, 2016 hosted by the Miami-Dade County Health Department.

The “Test Miami” initiative is collaborative effort between the Florida Department of Health and Miami-Dade County Health Department, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, health care providers, the University of Miami Developmental Center for AIDS Research, the Florida International University School of Public Health and the School of Journalism, Nova Southeastern University, Emory University Rollins School of Public Health, city, county, state and national officials and concerned citizens that aims to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic, a major health threat for Miami-Dade County. 

Care Resource received the Exceptional Performance Awards in “HIV Testing” and “Linkage to Care.”

Care Resource understands that HIV testing and Linkage to Care are crucial for successful HIV treatment. Delayed linkage impacts medical outcomes and HIV transmission; it creates longer time for viral suppression and increases the risk of hospitalization. Linkage lays the groundwork for future retention in care. This award reflects Care Resource’s excellence in the field of HIV/AIDS as it works to fulfill its mission and have a positive impact on Miami-Dade communities.
