Winnett resigns as Nashville CARES Chief Development Officer

Email from John Winnett:

As you may or may not know, I came to Nashville CARES a little over two years ago because of a true passion for educating the public about HIV to raise awareness in honor of a friend I had in Virginia. Because of my lack of knowledge about HIV/AIDS I unintentionally made him feel inferior for living with the disease when he dropped a wine glass, cut his hand and his blood was going all over our kitchen. I went into mass panic about contracting the disease or being near his blood. Once I learned more about the disease, I realized that no person living with HIV/AIDS should be made to feel that way and no “educated human being” should be uneducated about this disease or make others feel inferior because of it. I still today believe that HIV/AIDS prevention education is the #1 method to stopping the spread and ending this epidemic!

Nashville CARES really makes an impact in OUR community as a whole and especially for the 2,400 clients living with HIV/AIDS that receive a full array of services. I am proud to have served as part of this team. That being said, after careful evaluation I have decided it is simply time for me to move on to a new endeavor. My last day with Nashville CARES will be next Thursday, October 24th. However; I will be remaining in Nashville as the new Chief Development & External Affairs Officer of Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee (new contact info below) starting on November 1st.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the support you have offered me during my 2 years with Nashville CARES. I look forward to continuing our relationship in my new role.

Sincerely,

 

 

 

 

 

John D. Winnett

WhistlePig and Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake Wind Tunnel-Trialed Whiskey Is a Ryed You Don’t Want to Miss

WhistlePig + Alfa Romeo F1

SHOREHAM, VT (September 13, 2023) — WhistlePig Whiskey, the leaders in independent craft whiskey, and Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake are waving the checkered flag on a legend-worthy release that’s taking whiskey to G-Force levels. The Limited Edition PiggyBack Legends Series: Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake Barrel is a high Rye Whiskey selected by the Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake drivers, with barrels trialed in their wind tunnel to ensure a thrilling taste in every sip.

The third iteration in WhistlePig’s Single Barrel PiggyBack Legends Series, the Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake Barrel is bottled at 96.77 proof, a nod to Valtteri Bottas’ racing number, 77, and the precision of racing. Inspired by Zhou Guanyu, the first Chinese F1 driver, this Rye Whiskey is finished with lychee and oolong tea. Herbal and floral notes of the oolong tea complement the herbaceous notes of WhistlePig’s signature PiggyBack 100% Rye, rounded out with a juicy tropical fruit finish and a touch of spice.

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.
