Welcome to the Philadelphia Center Website
Thank you for visiting the Philadelphia Center web site! Established in the spring of 1990, we are a non-profit 501(c)3 community service organization dedicated to providing HIV/AIDS education information, and support to Northwest Louisiana.
Philadelphia Center’s mission is to:
- Provide support services for people who have Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) or have contracted the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS.
- Prevent the spread of HIV by educating the public with regard to how HIV is contracted and how its transmission may be avoided.
- Improve the quality of life for all people affected by HIV/AIDS regardless of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, political beliefs, financial status or any other non-meritorious basis.
Who We Serve
Philadelphia Center serves all people infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. While the majority of the people we serve are HIV positive, we provide services for people impacted in any way by this disease.
Because of the increase in the HIV infection rate in the southern part of our region, we now have partnered with Discovery Works to provide testing, counseling, and case management services in NATCHITOCHES. Our location is 126 Rue Touline. Our Phone number is: 318-238-3228.
