About SAN:

SAN began as an informal network of friends, medical caregivers, and concerned citizens in 1985. Dr. Jeff Collins, Dr. Dan Coulston, and Tom Crowe of the Spokane County Health District met to discuss creating an AIDS support group which would include Community Mental Health, Department of Social and Health Services, members of the gay community, and other volunteers to coordinate services for people with AIDS.

SAN remains focused on maintaining the organization’s legacy by remaining a visible partner to raise awareness about the impact of HIV/AIDS in Spokane. SAN works in close partnership with community stakeholders to serve as a bridge for resources for people living with and impacted by HIV/AIDS.

As we continue to grow and build more partnerships, we are excited to be able to share our community space and a renewed commitment to our community. These partnership will help us to create more opportunities for events and safe spaces for people impacted by HIV to gather, build community, raise awareness and fight stigma in Spokane.
