You are invited to join us for two exciting events during AIDS Education Month and receive up to 5.5 hours of CME credits for Physician Assistants at each event, at NO charge to you!

AIDS Education Month (AEM) is a series of FREE events in Philadelphia throughout the month of June. The goal of AEM is to increase awareness of AIDS and to bring people together to find strategies to combat the virus. Our goal is to end the AIDS epidemic within the lifetime of those currently living with HIV. Over 10,000 individuals are directly reached by AEM annually.

We would like to invite you to the 12th Annual Beyond the Walls: Prison Health Care & Reentry Summit on Tuesday, June 10th and to the 15th Annual Prevention & Outreach Summit on Wednesday, June 18th. For more information please review the details below, along with the attached event flyers; please circulate among your networks widely.

Beyond the Walls: Prison Health Care & Reentry Summit
Tuesday, June 10th
8:30 AM – 5 PM
PA Convention Center, 12th & Arch Streets, Philadelphia

Through panels and workshops, we explore health and re-entry challenges facing persons who are incarcerated and persons re-entering our communities, including HIV, mental health issues, substance use, housing, employment, advocacy, mentorship and educational programs. With a focus on community led responses to the crisis in the criminal justice system, workshops reflect the needs of prisoners and former prisoners and will highlight the work being done to improve conditions inside the prison walls and in the communities to which prisoners are returning. With over 36 workshops and over 1,000 in attendance, this summit promises to offer something for everyone.

Prevention & Outreach Summit
Wednesday, June 18th
8 AM – 5 PM
PA Convention Center, 13th & Arch Streets, Philadelphia

Over 1,000 people attend the Prevention and Outreach Summit each year to find out the latest information and research on the AIDS epidemic in Philadelphia and beyond. Find out exciting strategies for preventing HIV and linking those who are positive to life-saving treatment and learn about how the HIV epidemic intersects with related issues around mental health, homelessness, drug use, sex work, and more.
