Registration now open for the Nashville CARES AIDS Walk

The Nashville CARES AIDS Walk will be held at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park in Nashville starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday, September 26.   Meanwhile, the volunteer efforts and community outreach that make the AIDS Walk a success are underway.

Registration for the walk is now open at NashvilleAIDSWalk.com or by phone at 615-259-4866 and allows participants to raise awareness that HIV/AIDS remains a public health threat affecting people from all walks of life, and to raise money to fight HIV/AIDS in our local communities.
 
Innovations on the day of the AIDS Walk this year will bring more people and more energy to the festivities.  On September 26, the AIDS Walk is one of three walks taking place in Bicentennial Mall State Park.   The other two walks sharing the park that day are Community Nashville's Walk as One and Happy Tales Humane's Pet Stroll. Each group is doing its own separate fund raising beforehand and are coming together just for the day on September 26—to put on one strong and vibrant event with expected attendance of about 3000.   About 1,4000 people participated in Nashville CARES AIDS Walk last year.

The main AIDS Walk route, which the partners will also follow, is still about three miles in Bicentennial Mall State Park and surrounding downtown streets.  In addition, there will be a one-mile "infield" route for those who prefer a shorter walk option.  The Community Health & Wellness Festival, kids' activities, and stage entertainment will be expanded.  There will be water for all.  The Pancake Breakfast, prepared by volunteers, will now be one of the day's fund raising activities.  Pancake Breakfast tickets will be $5/person – an affordable treat.

Co-producers of the event on September 26 are Nashville CARES, CommunityNashville, and Happy Tales Humane, along with Conexion Americas and the Nashville Community Health & Wellness Team.

Register for the Nashville CARES AIDS Walk today – and take steps against AIDS on September 26.

5 Things You Need to Know About Hormone Therapy From an Lgbtq+ Nurse Practitioner

by Spectrum Medical Care Center

Nurse Practitioner Ari Kravitz

When I started medical transition at 20 years old, it was very difficult to get the care I needed for hormone replacement therapy because there are very few providers trained in starting hormones for trans people, even though it’s very similar to the hormones that we prescribe to women in menopause or cisgender men with low testosterone.

I hope more providers get trained in LGBTQ+ healthcare, so they can support patients along their individual gender journey, and provide the info needed to make informed decisions about their body. I’ve personally seen my trans patients find hope and experience a better quality of life through hormone replacement therapy.
