NewsHOPES BUDGET CUTS HOPES has recently been affected by State cuts from the Nevada State Health Division which provided funding for many of our Social Services programs. These cuts have led to job eliminations, closure to our food pantry and lack of funds for clients' transportation. Please help us with a tax-deductable contribution by clicking here. Alert The Reno Police Department needs the help of the GLBTQ Community in regard to several violent crimes that have occurred in downtown Reno. Those violent crimes have shown a trend as being directed toward males who are either gay/bisexual, or soliciting sex from gay/bisexual men in the area of Idlewild Park after nightfall. The perpetrators are white males in their teens and twenties. There are several things YOU can do:
REMEMBER: The police are more interested in putting an end to violent crime than they are in your sex life.
2) Stop frequenting public places in order to solicit sex.
We Miss You! Many of our clients have been lost to care due to incorrect addresses and phone numbers. If you are a client or family member of a client reading this newsletter and you haven’t seen us for a while, please give us a call. We urge all clients to come and meet with their case managers, clinicians, and to learn about our programs. For more information, please contact Social Services at (775) 348-2893. Access to Healthcare Access to Healthcare is a comprehensive Network of hospitals and primary, specialty and ancillary health care providers generously offering their services to the uninsured at a reduced fee. AHN is not health insurance and does not make payment directly to providers; AHN members pay the reduced fee at the time services are provided. The Network provides uninsured Nevada residents access to professional health care at a reduced rate while providing timely compensation for providers enrolled in the Network. Northern Nevada HOPES is working in conjunction with AHN to provide more services to our clients. Northern Nevada HOPES has a unique and wonderful relationship with AHN. As many clients are aware, AHN helps individuals with increased access to medical needs and also determines clients' eligibility for certain programs, like the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) and Health Insurance Continuation Program (HICP). As members of AHN, our clients are required to update their eligibility with AHN every six months and to coordinate these updates before the end of their eligibility period. Unfortunately, many clients are going without their medications and medical treatments due to non-compliance with AHN. When clients receive their reminder letters (at 2 months and then 1 month prior to the end of eligibility), they must call to schedule an appointment with AHN. Failure to do so can result in lack of services or medication refills. There is a waiting time to be seen at AHN so if you are a client and receive your letter, please schedule an appointment! For more information, please contact the Clinic at 786-4673. |
