The Oak Cliff-based healthcare nonprofit AIDS Arms Inc. announced in February 2017 it has rebranded to Prism Health North Texas. DFW Hospital Council President/CEO W. Stephen Love serves on the organization’s board of directors.
AIDS Arms opened in 1986 to provide healthcare and other services during the AIDS epidemic crisis. The new Prism Health North Texas name reflects the broader spectrum of services it now provides.
“HIV treatment has improved over the last 30 years to such a degree that today the focus is less on AIDS and more on the prevention and treatment of HIV” said Prism Health North Texas CEO Dr. John T. Carlo.
Prism changed the names of its two health clinics to Trinity – Oak Cliff clinic and Peabody – South Dallas clinic.
While the name has changed, the organization’s mission will remain the same. Prism remains committed to:
• Comprehensive care from experienced, specialized professionals;
• The most advanced treatment in HIV/AIDS;
• Complete confidentiality;
• Convenience, including short wait times and onsite pharmacy services;
• Accessibility through two clinics;
• Affordability.
