This week we are highlighting the Mazzoni Center, a Philadelphia area health center. The Mazzoni Center focuses on the GLBT community, and provide services ranging from primary health care to the largest HIV-specific food bank in the region. In their own words:
"At Mazzoni Center, we strive constantly to break down the cultural insensitivity and institutional homophobia often encountered by LGBT individuals accessing the mainstream health care system by providing sensitive, knowledgeable, and appropriate health care and preventative services. Mazzoni Center offers a full array of outreach, prevention, education, direct medical and care services, psychosocial services, and support groups, as described below."
MANHUNT is proud to partner with the Mazzoni Center, as they provide an array of services that help those afflicted with HIV/AIDS and the larger lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities.

I used to live just outside of Philly, and I used the Mazzoni Center on more than one occasion...they are an amazing facilty and deserve to be recognized. I'm glad you guys are seeing that.
