Improving Quality of Life
Community Health Initiative
The Community Health Initiative is a community program with outreach to 500 persons per week who are struggling with drug abuse, homelessness, and other issues.
ACM has an outreach team that provides food, clothing, and information about in-patient care. We also teach the population about HIV prevention.
ACM distributed over 1,000 Naloxone kits, provided overdose prevention education to 144 opioid users, distributed 48 fentanyl test strips, gave out over 2,000 safe sex packets, referred 1,500 individuals to HIV testing and STI screening, and engaged with over 5,000 District residents providing them quality-of-life educational counseling, food boxes, and cooked meals.
