2015 ActionAIDS / Action Wellness Annual Report 3
From the Executive Director
In July 2014, thanks to a generous grant from the Barra Foundation,
ActionAIDS began a strategic planning process, led by a Strategic
Planning Committee comprised of board, staff, volunteers and clients,
working with consultant Barbara Rice.
We began the process by collecting data from funders, volunteers, staff and clients using online surveys,
focus groups, listening sessions, and one-on-one conversations about the future of the organization. We
asked hard questions and collected a lot of data from all of our stakeholders, but mostly we listened.
We listened to clients, some who told us that having AIDS in our name was a barrier to accessing services,
and how much they preferred us to use program names, like the Philadelphia Linkage Program, the Family
Program, and the West Office, instead of ActionAIDS. Clients shared with us that what they value most
about working with us is the relationship that they develop with their Medical Case Manager, Housing Spe-
cialist and volunteer Buddy and our ability to help them with the wide range of challenges they face. We
have always focused on helping the whole person and their family. Our work has never been only about HIV.
We listened to our volunteers and staff who talked about the full scope of the services we provide to cli-
ents. We heard how much time is spent on helping clients deal with the challenges of addiction, mental
health, domestic violence, incarceration, poverty, homelessness and other chronic health conditions in
addition to HIV/AIDS.
We listened to our funders, both government agencies and private foundations, and elected officials in
Washington, Harrisburg, and here in Philadelphia. We heard about their struggles to maintain level funding
for HIV programs and the even more difficult task of securing funding increases. Level funding with in-
creased caseloads is really a funding decrease. “Level” funding has been a reality for many years. On June 9,
2016, the Senate Appropriations Committee released the Committee Report for Labor, Health and Human
Services and Education, which includes funding recommendations for Ryan White Funds. Total funding for
Ryan White in FY2017 will be $29M less than FY2016. (The total proposed FY2017 RW budget is $2.29B.)
We believe that funding streams for HIV services will continue to change over the next several years.
2015 ActionAIDS / Action Wellness Annual Report 4
At the end of the data gathering process it seemed that we had two choices:
• Make no change and risk decreased resources to support our work and probably become a much
smaller organization offering fewer services to fewer clients, or
• Expand our services and update our mission and name in an effort to better position ourselves for
the future.
The ActionAIDS board of directors considered all of the data, struggled with the pros and cons of each
option and made the decision to move forward with updating our name and mission and expanding our
target population.
In the second year of the strategic planning process, thanks to help from board member Glenn Hauler, we
accepted a generous offer from PulseCX to donate their rebranding services. We gave the locally-based
healthcare marketing agency all of the data that we had collected the year before. Over a period of 6
months PulseCX reviewed the data, met with staff, visited all of our sites, and then worked with staff and
board members to craft our new name, tag line, logo, mission statement and program descriptions. They
presented options for a new logo, brand narrative, mission and organization name to the ActionAIDS
board for review and approval.
This vigorous process resulted in our new name—Action Wellness.
From the Executive Director
2015 ActionAIDS / Action Wellness Annual Report 5
Action Wellness more accurately represents the full scope of the services we offer, and this name
will make our services more accessible to the entire community, which we believe is an effective HIV
prevention strategy. Our goal for all of our clients will be to help them achieve and maintain wellness.
Additionally, our expanded target population and mission and our new name will allow us to pursue
a wider range of funding to support the vital work we are doing.
People living with chronic diseases, especially people living in poverty, do not have easy access to
care. Our staff and volunteers have the skills and expertise to improve their access. Expanding our
mission to help all people with chronic illness access care is simply the right thing for us to do.
In 2016 ActionAIDS marks 30 years of service to the community. Expanding our services to include
people living with chronic illnesses honors our legacy of being Friends for Life and provides an op-
portunity to have a greater impact on the public health of our region, while also securing our ability
to provide vital services to people living with AIDS.
We are Action Wellness, putting good health into motion.
Thank you for your continued
support.Kevin J. Burns, LCSW
