AB The Women and Family HIV Centre is a multi-disciplinary facility
designed to address the unique medical and psychosocial needs of
infected women, children, youth and families living in B.C. The centre
is jointly sponsored by the Women's Health Centre (WHC) and B.C.'s
Children's Hospital (BCCH) and funded by the B.C. Ministry of Health. A
Steering Committee consisting of five members of the Positive Women's
Network (PWN), representatives from the founding institutions, and
several community agencies was established. The committee actively
lobbied several key government ministries, and letters of support were
obtained from the B.C. Centres for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, St. Paul's
Hospital HIV Care Team, appointed designates of the University of
British Columbia, Hospital administrations, the Vancouver Health
Department, government STD Prevention Programs, the Canadian Clinical
Trials Network, and from prominent municipal politicians. The Steering
Committee has ensured 1) credibility of the centre within the community,
2) responsiveness to community needs and 3) funding support in the face
of significant cuts in hospital and health care budgets. The Steering
Committee is being transformed into a Community Advisory Board designed
to ensure that the initial successful results continue to be realized.
