New Resource Connections (The RC) Site Launched<\/h3>\n
\n\t

\"TheThe new site for Resource Connections has launched! With the relaunch we've also rebranded it to call it \u201cThe RC\u201d in short. Call it whichever you prefer \u2013 we'll know what you mean!<\/p>\n

The old site is no longer, but the old URL now automatically redirects to the new. The new URL for The RC<\/em> is https:\/\/therc.vdh.virginia.gov<\/a>. You\u2019ll find that the new website has a brand-new interface and design. Additionally, the new site uses the Connect 211 functionality like Virginia 211<\/em>.<\/p>\n

VDH staff regularly review and update agency data to ensure accuracy. Most agencies that have an HIV prevention or care funding contract have a requirement in those contracts that they must update their agency\u2019s data in The RC<\/em> on an annual basis at minimum.<\/p>\n

Agencies will not be able to update their own information at this time. It is estimated that this functionality will be restored within the next six months. We will communicate when agency data self-service is restored. A training will also be offered at that time. Until then, any agencies that have outdated information on The RC<\/em> should request their agency information\/data updates to the Disease Prevention Hotline at hiv-stdhotline@vdh.virginia.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
