CrescentCare’s annual Empowerment Conference is a space for the HIV community across Louisiana and neighboring states to come together to connect, learn, and grow.  

We are facing a unique and challenging moment in the movement to end HIV in the United States. This year, we are exploring the changing landscape of health and HIV in the US and finding ways together to engage in community building and advocacy to protect our communities. Topics will include:

• Local opportunities to engage in community advocacy efforts
• Federal, state, and local changes to the health care and HIV services landscapes
• Lived experiences of people living with HIV who have made real change in their communities
• ... and more!
