The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Part A program provides HIV-related services for those who do not have sufficient health care coverage or financial resources for coping with HIV disease.

Our agency serves as the Administrator of the Cleveland Transitional Grant Area (TGA) which serves Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, and Medina counties. The program is federally funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration.

 

About Ryan White

ryan-white2

In 1984,  Ryan White, at age 13, was one of the first hemophiliac children diagnosed with AIDS in the U.S.  Diagnosed in the early days of misinformation, his fight to attend school garnered international attention.  Through his public battle he challenged prevalent misconceptions about HIV/AIDS and along with his mother led a campaign to educate the public and increase awareness.  Ryan eventually was welcomed to school when his family moved from Kokomo, IN to Cicero, IN.

At the age of 18, Ryan White died in April 1990 just months before Congress passed the AIDS bill that bears his name.
