Looking For A Great Volunteer Experience? Join ERC on Friday Afternoons!

Since 2003, Empowerment Resource Center (ERC) has worked tirelessly to make health care and behavioral health care available for individuals infected and affected by HIV and other sexually transmitted infections in the south-east region of the United States. The southern states of the United States today account for an estimated 44 percent of all people living with an HIV diagnosis in the U.S., despite having only about one-third (37%) of the overall U.S. population. Our work includes providing health related programs and services, more specifically HIV and STI prevention education, risk reduction counseling, testing, referral, and treatment services, client advocacy and navigation services, and primary care linkages. We provide programs onsite at our Comprehensive Intervention Clinic, Behavioral Health and Outreach Services, at satellite locations, and through the ERC on the M.O.V.E (Mobile Outreach Vehicle) program. Our clinic offers low-cost services to all clients and is a registered clinic within the Georgia Medical Composite Board, a participating clinic under the Georgia Volunteer Health Care Program, and a nationally recognized STD clinic under the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration 340B program. ERC is the medical home of over 1,000 clients.
