World AIDS Day is observed Dec. 1 each year, and the month of December is dedicated to AIDS awareness. If you or someone you know is living with HIV or AIDS, there are a number of clinics in the Chicagoland area that offer information and medical care for those affected by the disease.
Erie Family Health Center provides culturally sensitive health care to over 34,000 low-income, underinsured and uninsured Chicagoans. Their community-based health centers are portals to high-quality care — and a higher quality of life — regardless of a patient’s ability to pay.
