The RWMPC first convened in 2006 as a call to action led by Ryan White clinicians.  The coalition evolved with the support of HIVMA and IDSA, and today is a respected & leading voice in federal advocacy related to Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funding and policies. The RWMPC celebrated a decade of advocacy in 2016.

The RWMPC priorities are to:

• Sustain and increase funding for HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program.
• Provide Ryan White providers a voice in key policy and program discussions.
• Ensure clinicians are at the table to engage in health policy discussions regarding the Ending the HIV Epidemic Initiative, the role of HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program in responding to the opioid epidemic and shaping the future of the program.

• Complete this form to join the Coalition.  Email HIVMA with questions.

• Take action to urge funding for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program in FY 2022 to meet the demands for care and treatment after several years of level funding.
