The "Survival of the Fittest" Grant is a Special Project of National Significance (SPNS) grant given to our agency by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). This grant is to serve women of color that have been diagnosed as HIV positive and get them into medical care quickly after diagnosis or to encourage them to return to care if they have dropped out. Since this group is the fastest growing group of people being infected with the virus, this grant is quite timely and will meet the needs of many people here in Northeast Texas.
Special Health Resources for Texas, Inc. is one of only 11 demonstration sites for this grant across the nation. As this program is fully implemented, this department page will include staff, latest news, who to contact for care and much more, so please come back to this page regularly as we develop this grant to serve the needs of women of color in Northeast Texas.
