Prevention Committee

Who We Are

  • Chair: Sarah Kenneally, M.P.H.

  • Co-Chair: Freddy Pardo, M.B.A.

  • Staff Support: Elizabeth Ross

Our members are people living with HIV/AIDS, Miami Dade County Health Department staff, Ryan White service provider representatives, funded prevention providers and community members. Our vision is to eliminate disparities and improve health outcomes for all people living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS.

What We Do

In May of 2012, the Miami-Dade HIV/AIDS Partnership (the Partnership) authorized the Prevention Committee to establish a workgroup for up to one year that will report to the Prevention Committee, to identify the transgender community’s needs and related issues.

 Upon the workgroup’s first year commencement, the Partnership extended the term of the Transgender Workgroup for an additional year in order to monitor utilization of the existing drop-in center and identify needs for additional transgender resources.

Committee Responsibilities

  • Produce and evaluate an annual HIV Prevention Plan
  • Identify the technical assistance needs of community-based providers

  • Identify and prioritize unmet HIV/AIDS prevention needs within defined populations
  • Coordinate with the Care and Treatment Committee to ensure HIV services meet the needs of populations identified through prevention efforts
