STI/HIV Services – New Direction

To revolutionize STI and HIV outreach within our health department, we've tapped into the vibrant pulse of bars with a new idea: STI/HIV prevention bar coasters. 

Think of them as more than drink rests; they're dynamic messengers seamlessly integrating critical health information about preventable and treatable sexually transmitted diseases and infections into the social fabric.

With every drink placed on these coasters, the hope is that the only thing spreading in these spaces is awareness, reaching individuals who might otherwise remain beyond traditional outreach efforts. It's about creating an immersive experience that resonates deeply within the heart of social interaction by giving maybe a laugh but definitely accessibility to our services.

So, let the whisper of vital health knowledge accompany the clinking of glasses as these coasters stand as beacons of enlightenment in communal gathering spots. Here's to health, education, and a future free from preventable diseases!

Refreshed Opioid Prevention Materials 

In the ongoing battle against the opioid crisis, education and prevention play pivotal roles. In collaboration with the Richmond City and Henrico County Health Districts, we identified the pressing need for updated resources to support the department's opioid prevention program. Recognizing the importance of visual communication in conveying complex messages, I used our old materials to create new ones. Here is a quick look at the old verses the new opioid prevention materials.
