The Greene-Pitt
Women’s Empowerment Team finalists will host “Get the 411 on HIV medication,” a
lunch and learn, this Thursday, March 6th, from 12 – 2 p.m. at the
Ledonia Wright Cultural Center at East Carolina University.
The
team welcomes all people living with HIV, advocates, health care providers,
home healthcare givers, and activists to join them for a free lunch, door
prizes, and a panel discussion on HIV medication and the effects of the
Affordable Care Act, the AIDS Drug Assistance Program, and other changes.
This
event is being held in advance of National Women and Girls HIV Awareness Day,
which is Monday, March 10.
The
team comprises Esther Ross of Greenville and Debbie Maye of Snow Hill, one of six
finalist teams in the statewide North Carolina AIDS Action Network’s Women’s
Empowerment TEAM Project.
The Women’s Empowerment
TEAM project is made possible by an Empowered Community Grant from AIDS United,
a funding collaborative of Alicia Keys and Bristol-Myers Squibb. It is a part
of the broader Empowered Campaign with Greater than AIDS.
