"Every Thing Counts: The Women's Center" - Lessons to Be Learned From an Early AIDS Women’s Center

BRONX, N.Y. - Oct. 2, 2015 - PRLog -- Every Thing Counts tells the powerful story of the Women’s Center, a program in the Bronx that changed lives from the very beginning of the AIDS epidemic. The author was one of the founders and describes the Center’s operation during the 25 years that it existed.

This firsthand description probes the relationship between poverty and disease, as well as the history of a loving, dedicated collaboration among people of diverse backgrounds who worked together to make the program a success.

This public health effort grew organically from the needs of an HIV community in the Bronx, drawing on the community’s energy, passionate commitment, and social activism in a time of crisis. The research participants’ contributions, case records, clinician perspectives, and memories of staff and community members’ courage and resilience offer an illuminating account of a time when there were many questions, but few answers.

“This book is not only a fascinating account of a scary time in public health, but is an important story to be told. We are most pleased to announce its release,” said Robert Fletcher, CEO of Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Agency.
