I selected AIDS Outreach Center (AOC) located in 400 North Beach St, Fort Worth, Texas 76111. I selected this agency because I’ve found out that the HIV and STDs became significant community health problems in my community during the windshield assignment. The objective data shows that Tarrant County has the second highest case numbers of HIV diagnosis among the 17 counties in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metro Area. History and mission of the agency The AIDS Outreach Center (AOC) is the largest 501(c)3 non-profit AIDS service organization in Tarrant County that was founded in 1986 by volunteers. Their mission is “to serve people living with or at risk for HIV with dignity and respect”, and their vision is “In our community, people living with HIV receive quality care, and new infections are rare” (AIDS Outreach Center, n.d.). Target population The AIDS Outreach Center helps HIV individuals and their families to fight against HIV. Currently, the AOC is the only non-profit organization that provide support services to more than 1,600 individuals and their families across all races, ethnicities, genders, ages, and sexual identities in Tarrant County and seven surrounding rural counties (AIDS Outreach Center, n.d.)
