The AIDS Council of Greater Kansas City served as a catalyst for the community response to the HIV crisis in metropolitan Kansas City for more than 18 years. Services included public policy advocacy, coalition building, a speakers bureau and a center for networking between AIDS Service Organizations. Due to funding cuts, the Board of Directors decided to close the AIDS Council in mid-2005 . The Board of directors of Southwest Boulevard Family Health Care recognized the significant work that was being done for the community through the AIDS Council and invited J. Dollie Rainey, the Program Manager at the AIDS Council, to continue to provide the advocacy, information and networking services through a new AIDS INFORMATION CENTER (AIDS Information-KC.) The AIDS Information-KC has established an advisory committee made up of volunteers from each of the major AIDS Service providers in KC. The goals of the AIDS Information Center are: 1) To provide information about AIDS services in the KC metropolitan area. 2) To provide a point of contact for people who need advocacy within the HIV/AIDS systems. 3) To maintain a network of communication with the ASO's and with the community about events and important changes in services.
