AVI HEALTH & COMMUNITY SERVICES (AVI)

AVI is a multi‑disciplinary community‑based organisation providing HIV, hepatitis C and harm reduction services out of five locations across Vancouver Island. AVI provides services to people living with HIV and hepatitis C and harm reduction clients. We take evidence‑based action to prevent infection, provide support, and reduce stigma. We work within a social justice and health promotion framework to ensure equity and access to services for all.

At the core of what we do is our ability, and commitment to, creating meaningful connections. Every day, we strive to create meaningful connections between clients and staff, between peers, between staff members, between organisations, between communities, and between funders and impactful programmes.
