This is the new home for AIDS Rochester and AIDS Community Health Center. They're moved in, and unpacking, close to a launch as one new group.

"The ability to provide a very coordinated care system and make the process for people living with HIV in one location is a dramatic leap," said Jay Rudman, the president of AIDS Community Health Center.

That leap was more than a year in making. Combined the two non-profits serve thousand living with HIV and AIDS. Now they can do it from one central location.

"A client can come in here and get a meal. They can see their case manager and make sure they have housing, that they have transportation that they are following up with their medical care and taking their medications," said Paula Silvestrone, the executive director of AIDS Rochester.

The groups also do a tremendous amount of outreach.

They test close to 2,000 people a year for HIV, education outreach to 30,000, and provide counseling, food, and prescriptions. By combining their resources, this new AIDS and HIV center becomes a unique resource in the state.

"We are the only two organizations dedicated to this issue in the region," said Rudman.

The two groups will officially merge on January 1st. Come then they'll have a new name, but they'll have the same mission: helping those living with HIV and AIDS and preventing and educating people about the disease.
