Our Vision
By 2010, The SHARP
Foundation will be a nationally recognized leader in
facilitating a wholistic continuum of care and
providing excellent individualized health care and
housing for persons living with HIV/AIDS.
Our Mission
To ensure quality of life
for persons living with HIV and AIDS, through the
provision of a safe, appropriate and accessible
environment.
|
We provide care
at a cost of less than $100 per day per
resident which is anywhere from half the
cost of hospice care to 1/18 the cost
of acute hospital care.
|
The SHARP Foundation is committed to developing
strategic direction to ensure affordable housing and
accessible programming is available for persons
living with HIV/AIDS. The Foundation will provide
a nurturing environment to attract and retain highly
skilled and compassionate people to deliver and
support our clients, programs and services. To
ensure staff, volunteers and service providers are
best able to participate in creating healthy
environments and promote heath for our clients, we
will provide education and awareness of issues
including HIV/AIDS, diversity, medical and/or
social issues.
|
"Wholistic" is a process
of integrating the medical, physical, psycho/social
and spiritual aspects of an individual's care.
"Continuum" is from
first diagnosis to end of life and beyond for family
and friends. |
