Reflecting on a Busy 2026 <\/h3>\n
\n\t

We\u2019ve been busy in the Division of Disease Prevention (DDP). I wanted to take time to acknowledge some of the important work we\u2019ve been doing recently in collaboration with the community and our partners.<\/p>\n

Earlier in 2026 we started with two public meetings, one specific to Ryan White Part B Services and then another specific to our Virginia Integrated HIV Services Plan. Open meetings such as these allow us the opportunity to hear the voices of those whom we serve. We are incredibly grateful for those who spoke up and voiced their opinions, concerns, and feedback.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Training Announcement: Program Sustainability <\/h3>\n
\n\t

What would you do if your grant funds were suddenly canceled?<\/p>\n

In these uncertain times, planning for the worst-case scenario is often wise. To help address this issue, the HIV and Hepatitis Prevention (HHP) team is offering a full-day training in late May entitled Program Sustainability.<\/p>\n

The training will take place on May 21, 2025, in Richmond, Virginia.\u00a0 It is open to all contractors, including community-based organizations and local health departments.<\/p>\n

It is a one-day session and will focus on practical strategies for building a long-term, sustainable program that is not dependent on a single funding source.\u00a0 Participants will learn ways to diversity financial support, strengthen organization resilience, and plan for future stability.<\/p>\n

This session is designed for:<\/p>\n
