Meet Our Staff...Lelenia...

Lelenia joined East Valley in 2006. She is responsible for the oversight of two HIV prevention programs called Project ACT and CHICAS. These program serve active drug users and Latina transgender women. Within these program she is responsible for ensuring compliance with all contractual program guidelines, which includes but is not limited to staff supervision, development and implementation of evaluation tools; quality assurance activities; ensuring proper ongoing training of staff; tracking and modifying budgets; and participating in community planning bodies.

What she likes the most about her job is being able to help the communities that are so often overlooked in today's society. The work that the Project ACT and CHICAS staff do (Lelenia, Norma, Gabriela, Efren and Sasha) within the community is essential to preventing the spread of HIV. They work with hard to reach populations and provide much needed HIV prevention services in the community. They deserve a pat on the back for all their hard work and ongoing commitment to the individuals they serve!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Breast cancer survival rates have increased and the number of deaths has been declining, thanks to a number of factors such as earlier detection, new treatments and a better understanding of the disease.

East Valley Community Health Center provides mammograms to low-income and underserved patients, so that they are able to detect and treat cancer as early as possible. 

What can you do?Wear pink this month and help support programs, like ours, that aid in the early detection of Breast Cancer.
