The Centerstone of Florida, Inc. (doing business as Manatee Glens Hospital) was awarded a $1,200,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under the Minority HIV/AIDS Fund (MHAF) program (CFDA 93.899). The grant, titled "Syndemic Approach to Prevention at Centerstone (SAP-C)", aims to advance equity for racial/ethnic minority communities, especially Black female identities, experiencing disparities related to HIV, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, substance use, substance use disorders, and/or mental health conditions.

The project will deliver evidence-based, culturally responsive prevention education, outreach, and interventions to a target population of 3,500 individuals in 5 Florida counties. Key services include screening, testing, linkage to care (including for PrEP, PEP, and treatment), health education, harm reduction, and psychosocial support. The project will also build infrastructure to sustain a syndemic approach, engage community partners, and develop a replicable model for addressing intersecting health disparities in minority communities.
