I have worked for this agency since 1995 in a variety of roles. Today I work at the Staten Island Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Community Center at 25 Victory Blvd., 3rd floor, as Manager of Information, Referral & Special Projects. Community Health Action (which until 2004 was called the Staten Island AIDS Task Force) is the only Staten Island agency that serves the LGBT community, among other populations. It is also the only agency that offers FREE Hepatitis C testing on Staten Island. It is Staten Island's major HIV testing agency. We also provide reproductive health services for youth ages 13 to 24. We have a community food pantry. We offer case management, treatment education and adherence support and client activities for people living with HIV and AIDS. We have an addiction treatment program that helps people with substance use issues get and remain clean and sober. We have two mobile units that travel to many areas of the Island for regular testing and other services, as well as special events such as health fairs. In addition to all these services and more, Community Health Action is a great place to work and to volunteer. Our staff is caring and competent; our supervisors are supportive and open to input. There is no agency more worthy of praise and donations than Community Health Action of Staten Island.
