Administration will continue funding the Medical College of Wisconsin and

community-based HIV care system, which focuses on care for women, infants, and
children.

providing care services for pregnant women with HIV and their infants in
Wisconsin, youth with HIV in Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan,
individuals ages 19–24 with HIV in southeastern Wisconsin who are at high risk
for nonadherence to medical care, and women in northeastern and southeastern
Wisconsin who have risk factors that complicate engaging in medical care.

well as program director for the HIV Clinic at Children’s Hospital of
