As a team they raised $500 for the POP-UP program at Ward 86. This program aims to reduce health disparities among homeless and unstably housed individuals living with HIV in San Francisco. Funds raised will be applied to offer long-acting antiretroviral therapy (ART) to those patients. POP-UP has enrolled over 150 of the city's most vulnerable patients and their low-barrier drop-in care program has managed to increase virologic suppression rates in this population from 0% to 50%.

TOMORROW: DEM Poster Event

The DEM summer trainees will be presenting posters to showcase their projects on Thursday, July 28 from 2-3 PM in the 505 Conference Room.


We want to support our trainees, so your attendance is strongly encouraged. Snacks will be provided, but cannot be eaten in the conference room. Hope to see you there!
