Mazzoni Center (info below is from their website)
Mazzoni Center, located in Center City Philadelphia, provides competent and nonjudgmental primary medical, mental
health and education services to the region's historically underserved sexual minority and HIV-affected communities.
Founded in 1979 as Lavender Health and, most recently, Philadelphia
Community Health Alternatives, we are the state's oldest AIDS organization and the fourth oldest in the nation.
Mazzoni Center impacts the lives of more than 30,000 people annually through
comprehensive medical testing at the City's only LGBT-focused community health center, mental health counseling, sensitivity workshops in Philadelphia's public schools, and street outreach.
As we enter our 25th year of outstanding service, we reflect on the words of our namesake and former medical director, Dr. Peter Mazzoni …
"to relieve often, to cure sometimes, to comfort always" |
