Secretary
Sebelius Announces Members of the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS
WASHINGTON - Health and
Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced today the appointment of 24
new members to the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA). The
PACHA's chair, Dr. Helene Gayle, was appointed in August 2009. This council of
HIV/AIDS experts is composed of a diverse group of researchers, service
providers, and community leaders from around the country, including people
living with HIV. The Council also includes people who are from community-based
organizations that cater to the medical, legal, or mental health needs of people
living with HIV and AIDS.
The Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS provides advice, information, and
recommendations to the President through the Secretary of Health and Human
Services on domestic and global HIV/AIDS policy issues. PACHA also serves to
further the policy goals of the White House Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP)
and will play an important role in providing input for the National HIV/AIDS
Strategy. See list of members at:
