Ryan White Services

The purpose of the Ryan White Part A program in the Boston Eligible Metropolitan Area (EMA) is to provide accessible, barrier-free services to eligible consumers. These services are intended to promote positive health outcomes, and self-sufficiency, and improve the quality of life for People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). The Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC), as the Recipient of Part A funding from the Health Resources Service Administration (HRSA), administers the funds in communities with high rates of HIV infection. Factors in these communities, including social determinants of health such as housing stability, food insecurity, and much more, can increase a person's risk of becoming infected with or affected by HIV.
