The Ryan White Program was established in Hillsborough County to address the need for HIV/AIDS-related services among the economically disadvantaged and underserved residents of our community. Hillsborough County awards funds to providers based on service priorities and allocations established by the West Central Florida Ryan White Care Council. Ryan White courageously fought AIDS-related discrimination and helped educate the nation about HIV/AIDS. Read more about Ryan White's life.
