GO CARE is a private, non-profit community-based organization that was founded in 1988 with an original mission of providing prevention, education, and direct services to stop the spread of HIV and to assist people living with HIV.
In June 2015, we opened the doors to our own clinic. Initially, we provided medical services exclusively to people living with HIV. However, over time we’ve gained a reputation for providing high-quality healthcare in an affirming and inclusive environment not only for people living with HIV, but also for LGBTQ people and the broader population in our area who wish to receive their healthcare in our unique setting.
Our affirming and inclusive setting allows people to speak with a medical provider candidly and freely regarding their general healthcare issues, as well as issues including gender identity, gender expression, sexual activity, sexual identity, or any other factors relevant to a person’s overall well-being. We strive to be the place where individuals can come to openly communicate with their healthcare provider so they can be given the highest level of care and so we can work together in Moving Health Forward.
GO CARE receives grant funds from our funding partners below, as well as private donations, to help make our mission and vision a reality. If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution to our organization, please click “Donate” at the top of our web page!
