Community Engagement
So why is a doctors office discussing a community planning body? Community engagement. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality medical care and ending HIV. Thoughtful engagement with the entire community through CFHPC improves care for all of Central Florida’s residents. Its the only place where all of the ASO meet to coordinate services. They discuss HIV care, testing and prevention like PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis). Our Community Relations Manager, Sam Graper, serves as Chair of CFHPC. He’s been instrumental at improving care, increasing engagement, streamlining processes and advocating for patients. OIC is proud to be the first and only private practice that participates in the process and we hope you join us!
