The Long Island Association for AIDS Care, Inc. Names its New Chief Executive Officer
http://www.liaac.org/about-us.php - Since 1986, the Long Island Association for AIDS Care, Inc. (LIAAC) has been a community-based, not-for-profit agency that provides services and support for Long Islanders infected and affected by HIV/AIDS and at high risk for HIV infection and other infectious diseases. LIAAC is the only agency serving L.I. with HIV/AIDS prevention and care as its founding purpose and core mission. LIAAC was the nation's first suburban-based AIDS service organization; its endurance over the past 2 decades has required overcoming harmful, inaccurate stereotypes that portray all Long Islanders as affluent, healthy, and not as vulnerable to HIV or other harmful diseases as residents of neighboring New York City. LIAAC remains L.I.'s only bi-county, comprehensive community service-provider, with the region's only HIV/AIDS Hotline. John Haigney,
