The pages no longer refer to HIV Care Services, using the unit program names instead.<\/p>\n<p>You will find the pages located differently on our website navigation. Some of the old pages no longer exist. We suggest familiarizing yourself with the new pages and where information is located on the pages. Bookmark any new pages that you may need to use frequently.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to the staff who worked hard on this project!

The meeting featured program updates, quarterly performance measure data reviews, subcommittee workplan development, and stakeholder engagement activities focused on practical strategies to enhance HIV care services across Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights included updates from recipients of other Ryan White HIV\/AIDS Program-funded Parts in Virginia through the Cross-Parts Collaborative, as well as VDH presentations on funded service category performance measures and Unified Eligibility data. Participants also received a \u201cYou Said, We Did\u201d presentation demonstrating how clinical quality management (CQM) feedback has informed improvements in training, technical assistance, onboarding, communication, and data support.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, members participated in a virtual Red Ribbon Activity as part of the integrated planning process, providing feedback on priorities for Virginia\u2019s 2027\u20132031 Integrated HIV Prevention and Care Services Plan. Input gathered during the activity will help inform the continued development of the plan\u2019s goals and objectives.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, 55 participants actively attended the meeting, reinforcing QMAC\u2019s role as a key component of the CQM infrastructure and as a collaborative forum for data-informed planning, consumer and provider engagement, and continuous quality improvement across Virginia\u2019s Ryan White system of care.<\/p>\n<p>For questions about the Virginia Ryan White QMAC, please contact either <strong>Camellia Espinal<\/strong> at <a href=\"mailto:camellia.espinal@vdh.virginia.gov\">camellia.espinal@vdh.virginia.gov<\/a>, or <strong>Lynea Hogan<\/strong> at <a href=\"mailto:lynea.hogan@vdh.virginia.gov\">lynea.hogan@vdh.virginia.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-14930-9\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-14930-9\" ><div id=\"pgc-14930-9-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-14930-9-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"13\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-14930-10\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div id=\"scholarship\" class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-14930-10\" ><div id=\"pgc-14930-10-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-14930-10-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"14\" ><div class=\"big-widget-header panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-14930-10-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\">VCU CIRCAA Program <\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) secured funding for three full scholarships for their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vcoa.chp.vcu.edu\/vgec\/circaa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VCU CIRCAA program<\/a>.\u00a0 CIRCAA stands for Creating Interprofessional Readiness for Complex &amp; Aging Adults (CIRCAA).<\/p>\n<p>The program focuses on HIV and Aging for the next academic year.
