Outreach/Prevention

CHIP Youth Project sees prevention and outreach as a critical social justice issue. It is our goal to not only share information from our institution and the larger medical community about breakthroughs in treatment, care, support and education but to work hard towards reducing barriers that may prevent people from potentially engaging with us. We work diligently alongside key agencies and organizations and community members to present our services in innovative ways that are responsive to the needs of communities we serve.

We are involved in community mobilization and advocacy by having our staff involved with a variety of boards, steering committees, coalitions and community groups. We strongly believe in working alongside and with many different segments of our larger community to improve overall health outcomes for but not limited to Youth, Women, Infants and Children, Incarcerated Persons, LGBTQ, Communities of Color and any group that experiences marginalization.

The Southern Colorado Health Collaborative (SCHC) is an outreach and prevention program sponsored by CHIP which provides enhanced HIV and Hepatitis C testing and educational services in rural Southern Colorado. SCHC currently provides services in 22 counties including: Fremont, Bent, Otero, Alamosa, and Las Animas. New testing and PrEP sites are coming aboard regularly. Please call Jennifer Moor, Prevention Coordinator, for upcoming testing dates in your area or by appointment at (720) 951-2693.
