e seeing firsthand the effects of this growing epidemic," Dr. Wilkin said. "Were in danger of sliding backward in the level of care we can provide our patients. Congress needs to fund Title III and the rest of the Ryan White CARE Act, and HRSA needs to implement it, to meet the needs of those it was intended to help: those people living with HIV with nowhere else to turn for care."

Quick Facts

The Title III Coalition represents medical providers funded through Title III of the Ryan White CARE Act.

Title III providers are struggling after years of stagnant funding as their patient loads have steadily increased.

The Coalition will advocate for funding to provide the patients with the complex medical care they need, as well as support services to make care possible.

It also will give providers a seat at the table in implementing the newly reauthorized Act.
