You can have an impact on how HIV services succeed in your area. Community planning is one form of volunteerism that brings area leaders and citizens together to plan for our public health future. Meet your local HIV/AIDS organizations and volunteer for events, outreach and community education.

The Florida Comprehensive Planning Network (FCPN) was formed January 1, 2004, as a statewide planning body that works in collaboration with the Department of Health to develop a comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention, patient care, and hepatitis plan. The membership of the FCPN consists of representatives from across the state who are selected from local health departments, local HIV/AIDS community planning groups (CPGs), and local patient care consortia. The FCPN consists of three planning entities: the prevention planning group/early intervention (PPG), the patient care planning group (PCPG), and the Florida Viral Hepatitis Council. At-large members are appointed to ensure representation of special populations, such as Persons Living with HIV/AIDS, Religious/Faith Community, Substance Abuse/Mental Health, Children’s Medical Services, Behavioral Science, Haitian, Migrant/Farmworker, MSM (Men who have Sex with Men) of Color, Hispanic, Hepatitis, and Youth.

Previously known as the Florida HIV/AIDS Community Planning Group, this network of involved citizens represents an important component of HIV prevention in Florida.
