Combating stigma and inequities in priority populations while also providing linkage to care is one of the many goals of Joseph P. Addabbo. By doing so, we use data measures and outreach methods as a combined tool to accomplish this goal. JPAFHC leverages data from various resources to identify patients who would benefit from sexual health interventions such as New STI and PrEP Patient Trackers and building custom EMR reports to go beyond traditional indicators. To combat stigma and promote sexual health, we outreach through traditional partners such as community organizations and schools and we also build community by hosting sexual health fairs, workshops, and creating resource pamphlets tailored to the needs of the public.
