"I am inspired by all of you at AID Upstate that has made the choice to dedicate your career to helping others."
"One call was all it took. I was connected to a medical case manager who scheduled me with an HIV medical provider, who prescribed my HIV medication, and connected with a pharmacy that automatically shipped my medication to my home, a mental health therapist who helped me manage my mental health, an addiction counselor to meet with weekly along with an addiction process group and enrolled in health insurance. It was all too much to be true!"
