FIGHT Plans AIDS Education Month
Philadelphia FIGHT kicks off the planning process for its 18th Annual AIDS Education Month (AEM) on Wednesday, Jan. 25 (10 a.m.) at the William Way Community Center.

This year’s AEM is co-chaired by Elicia Gonzales, executive director of GALAEI, and Bruce Herdman, chief of medical operations for the Philadelphia Prison System.
