Who We Are
About Action Wellness
In September 1986, a group of committed volunteers came together in Philadelphia to form a community of care to provide services to people with HIV. These were the partners, family, and friends of our founding volunteers. These volunteers acted, and ActionAIDS was born!
In June 2016, ActionAIDS became Action Wellness. Thanks to dedicated volunteers, committed staff, generous donors, and ongoing support from city, state, and federal funders, Action Wellness continues to provide life-sustaining services to persons with HIV or at high risk of acquiring HIV and their families.
Each year, Action Wellness serves over 2,000 clients through the efforts of over 200 dedicated volunteers and over 80 professional staff. Our services are client-centered, individualized and trauma-informed. Our work continues to build a strong, diverse, and committed community of caring dedicated to positively impacting the physical, emotional and economic wellbeing of the individuals we serve on a daily basis.
