Development and maintenance of the Miami-Dade County Ryan White Program website has been paid for in whole with federal funds received under Part A of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration.
The Ryan White Part A Program (formerly known as Ryan White Title I) was established in Miami-Dade County in 1991 to address the need for HIV/AIDS-related services among the economically disadvantaged and underserved residents of our community. The program is currently funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), under Part A of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006.
The Ryan White Part A Program of the Office of Strategic Business Management is responsible for distributing these grant funds to HIV/AIDS service organizations, community-based clinics, hospitals, and public institutions located throughout the County. Part A services include outpatient medical care, prescription drugs, oral health care, substance abuse treatment, mental health counseling, medical case management, prescription drug co-payments, medical insurance deductibles, support to AIDS Insurance Continuation Program (AICP), home health care, legal support, food assistance, and transportation services. More than 12,000 persons living with HIV or AIDS are served through the County's Ryan White Program on an annual basis.
Miami-Dade County receives additional funding under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act to reduce disparities and improve health outcomes for eligible HIV+ persons from racial/ethnic minorities. This funding is known as the Ryan White Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI).
