| "Different Avenues at Egypt" |
| Project Description |
| Different Avnues at Egypt is a place where anyone and everyone is welcome to get health care, especially relating to sexual and reproductive health. We believe health care without discrimination is everyone's right, and the staff at Egypt are specially trained and experienced to treat all patients with sensitivity and respect. Egypt Clinic is at 3937 Minnsota Ave NE, just off Benning Road in the East River Park Shopping Center (next to the post office). You can just drop by or call ahead to make an appointment - 202.388.4770, or contact Darby with any questions at 202.829.2103 or darby -at- differentavenues.org Download a cool flyer of the clinic here. "Different Avenues at Egypt" Project is a collaborative effort between Different Avenues Inc and Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington Inc (PPMW). The goal of the collaboration is to increase access to medical services for marginalized populations. Different Avenues has helped to improve the cultural competency of the staff at PPMW's Ophelia Egypt Clinic on Benning Rd NE with trainings on young men who have sex with men, transgenders, and people in the sex industry. As part of this goal, PPMW & Different Avenues are launching an innovative internet outreach project. The goal of this intervention is "to utilize the Internet to increase the number of young men who have sex with men of color and young transgender women of color accessing HIV/STI support, education and referrals." |
