About This Cause
LGBT Life Center is incredibly proud of a 34-year history in Hampton Roads, Virginia. When the agency started in 1989, the focus was on women and children living with HIV/AIDS. As HIV has changed over the years, so has work to support individuals who are living longer with HIV. The organization has grown as well, and is addressing the health inequities which commonly impact people living with HIV. The Center is ready to meet the diverse needs of this community. Today, LGBT Life Center’s commitment to a healthy Hampton Roads remains as strong as ever. In 1989, CANDII (Children’s AIDS Network) and Full Circle AIDS Hospice Support were two individual agencies working in Hampton Roads to better the community and help those affected by HIV/AIDS. Each did their part to serve their respective clients and educate the community. In 2006, a merger between Full Circle AIDS Hospice Support and CANDII formed AIDS Care Center for Education and Supportive Services. The two agencies came together with a common mission: to serve more individuals and families that are impacted by HIV/AIDS in Hampton Roads. At that time, the agency became ACCESS AIDS Care, uniting the two causes and bringing together two solid reputations to better serve our community. Five years later, ACCESS AIDS Care, together with The Elton John AIDS Foundation, Advocates for Youth, and many wonderful LGBT advocates, opened The LGBT Center of Hampton Roads in June 2011. In 2017, ACCESS AIDS Care and The LGBT Center of Hampton Roads expanded their mission and rebranded as the LGBT Life Center.
