SNHC by EPMC Reminds Everyone about Border and Migrant Health Regional Meetings
Does your organization provide services along the US-Mexico

If you answered yes to either question, participation in the Supporting Networks of HIV Care by Enhancing Primary Medical Care (SNHC by EPMC) Regional Meetings is an opportunity for you. Limited scholarships are available to cover travel expenses.
The
Regional Meetings will examine critical factors that must be considered by
