Online Mens’ Health Workshop
Wednesday, October 28th, 2015HVCS’ Training Program to End March 31st
Tuesday, March 17th, 2015While we’d much rather talk about new programs and services, sometimes we must share unfortunate news. As of March 31, 2015, HVCS will no longer offer trainings and webinars as a part of the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute HIV Training and Education Program. It’s been a pleasure serving the Hudson Valley human service provider community and everyone in the field of HIV/STI and Viral Hepatitis case management and prevention.
Going forward, Cicatelli Associates, Inc., based in Manhattan, will provide New York State AIDS Institute trainings for this region. Course listings and information can be found on The Department of Health website www.hivtrainingny.org, at the Cicatelli Associates, Inc. website www.caiglobal.org , or by telephone at 212-594-7741.
As per our privacy policy, HVCS will not share trainees’ contact information with Cicatelli Associates, Inc., so we encourage those interested in future trainings to reach out to them.
We hope that those who joined us for trainings will continue to partner with and make referrals to HVCS’ array of programs and services as needed. Our staff are always ready to assist service providers and their clients and patients with any necessary services. Watch for future e-mail notifications about HVCS’ programs and special events; you may unsubscribe at any time.
Thanks to those who came to our trainings for being wonderful training center participants over the years, and we wish you all the best to you and the people you serve.
