IRIS HOUSE

Established in 1993 by the Women and AIDS Working Group, Iris House provides comprehensive services and advocacy for women, families, and communities infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS, while simultaneously providing prevention and education services for our clients and at-risk communities.

To fulfill this mission, Iris House offers practical, family-centered services that promote prevention and education while addressing the day-to-day realities of living with HIV/AIDS.

All of our programs are developed to achieve the following goals:

• To promote and support independent functioning for our clients, to improve quality of life, and to maintain optimum health status for clients and their families;
  
• To educate policy makers, elected officials, and human health service providers about the issues and concerns affecting our clients and their families; and
  
• To advocate for changes in policy and programs that are more responsive to the needs of women and their families.

Iris House is led by Ingrid Floyd, the Executive Director.
