On the count of three, community members cheerfully
kick off CHI’s first World Aids Day Walk.

When Ashley Nicole Cason was diagnosed with HIV at the age of 15, she thought her life was over. Cason suffered with depression and suicidal thoughts as a teenager and sadly did not see a positive future for herself.  

“I wanted to give up. I felt like my life was over and I couldn’t go on,” she said. It wasn’t until Cason received support from loved ones as an adult that she began to feel hope for her life.  

Happy New Year! It’s a fresh start for all of us as we clean the slate and strive for good health, happiness and success in 2023. I know the team at CHI will be forging ahead to continue with high quality compassionate care with new innovations, programs and services this year. I hope the new year brings new opportunities to all of you.
