Mission Statement
The mission of Empowerment Resource Center is to provide programs, services, and community-level solutions that improve the health-related quality of life for the communities we are privileged to serve.
Description
Empowerment Resource Center (ERC) provides health-related programs and services, more specifically HIV and STI prevention education, risk reduction counseling, testing, referral, and treatment services, client advocacy and navigation services, and primary care linkages. ERC focuses on a broader array of services, assisting both individuals infected and affected by HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
We provide programs and services on-site at our Comprehensive Intervention Clinic, at satellite locations, and through the ERC on the M.O.V.E. (Mobile Outreach Vehicle) program. The clinic offers low-cost health care services and is a registered clinic with the Georgia Medical Composite Board, a participating clinic under the Georgia Volunteer Health Care Program, and a nationally recognized STD clinic under the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration 340B program. ERC is the medical home of over 500 clients.
