Description

AID Gwinnett/Ric Crawford Clinic, a not for profit organization was founded in 1991 in Gwinnett County by a grass roots group of concerned volunteers and parents dealing with family members and friends living with HIV/AIDS. After the death of their son Ric Crawford, Peggy and Len Terrell were driven to assist other families in the community who were impacted by HIV/AIDS. Donations received during Ric's memorial were the initial funds used to start AID Gwinnett. Early services included support groups and practical support, providing respite care for families and caregivers. Prevention and HIV awareness were critical messages in those early years as it continues to be today. In 1993 services were expanded to serve the Gwinnett, Newton and Rockdale Health Districts. In 2003 the Ric Crawford Clinic was opened to expanded HIV specialty and primary care for our patients. Additonal services and outreach were implemented to address the growing community need. In the fall of 2005 the agency relocated to its 11,000 square foot facility in Duluth, Georgia
