AIDS Community Alliance

AIDS Community Alliance (ACA) provides community-based, comprehensive HIV care, housing and education services to individuals, families, and communities impacted by HIV and AIDS. We serve individuals and families throughout south central Pennsylvania.

Founded in 1985 as the Lancaster AIDS Project, AIDS Community Alliance now represents the unification of three of Pennsylvania’s original HIV/AIDS service and education providers — Lancaster AIDS Project (LAP), South Central AIDS Assistance Network (SCAAN), and the AIDS program of Lebanon Family Health Services.

All of the programs began as community-based efforts to address the immediate and growing needs of individuals, families, and communities living with and impacted by HIV. Today, ACA continues this tradition by helping those impacted by HIV and AIDS with compassionate, responsive, and confidential services and education programming.
