In celebration of the 12 days of Casey House Christmas December 18-29, 2020
1st day: One pharmacist. This spring, Casey House welcomed pharmacist Jonathan Smith to join the integrated team of health care workers caring for clients. Pharmacists play a key role in holistic approaches to health care.
2nd day: Two #smashstigma TV shows to expose HIV stigma. We wrote HIV into the lives of lead characters from two iconic TV shows after a survey showed people would rather see their favourite character die than be diagnosed with HIV. Visit smashstigma.ca
3rd day: Three nights of June’s HIV+ Eatery. Smashing stigma family-style with delicious food made with the help of 14 HIV+ chefs. Get a taste of it here.
4th day: In Canada, someone is diagnosed with HIV every 4 hours and Health Canada’s recent approval of an HIV self-test means there is finally a safe, simple and effective HIV testing option for Canadians.
5th day: Casey House research appeared in five peer reviewed research publications, contributing to a growing body of knowledge of HIV and judgment-free health care.
