December 5, 2024 (Rochester, NY) – Trillium Health will celebrate its 35th Anniversary at a fundraiser taking place on Thursday, December 5th at Native (180 S. Clinton Avenue, Rochester). The event will also honor World AIDS Day, emphasizing Trillium Health’s longstanding commitment to ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
“Trillium Health was founded in 1989 as an HIV/AIDS clinic during the height of the AIDS crisis, and over the years, we’ve expanded to serve everyone regardless of their ability to pay. Today, we’re proud to serve over 18,000 patients and clients. As we celebrate our 35th anniversary, we will honor our past and look forward to the future, as we continue to serve more low-income families and historically marginalized communities,” said Jason Barnecut-Kearns, President and CEO of Trillium Health.
The evening will also honor World AIDS Day, which is marked on December 1 each year to remember those who have been lost to AIDS and to celebrate the progress made in the fight against HIV. Dr. William Valenti, Senior Vice President for Strategic Advancement, Staff Physician, and Co-Founder of Trillium Health, noted the significance of the day.
“As we gather for World AIDS Day, we celebrate the incredible strides we've made in the fight against HIV/AIDS—especially in regard to HIV prevention and treatment,” said Dr. Valenti. “However, our work is far from over. We must continue to improve access to HIV prevention and treatment, in addition to dismantling the stigma that persists. Together, we will continue our journey toward a world without HIV/AIDS.”
