About Us

About the Novus ACS Foundation

At the Novus ACS Foundation, we believe in building healthier communities through proactive and compassionate healthcare initiatives. Our primary focus is to address and mitigate the epidemic of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV and viral hepatitis. Located in the heart of Pennsylvania, we are dedicated to improving wellness and reducing preventable diseases among marginalized communities.

Our Story

The Novus ACS Foundation was born out of a deep-seated commitment to public health and community well-being. Our journey began with a group of passionate individuals who saw the urgent need for comprehensive STI prevention and treatment programs. These visionaries recognized that to make a real impact, we needed to go beyond just providing medical services – we needed to educate, support, and empower our community members.

What We Do

Our approach is multi-faceted, focusing on education, screening, prevention, and treatment. Here’s how we make a difference:

• Education and Outreach: We believe that knowledge is power. Our educational programs are designed to inform and empower individuals about STI prevention and healthy practices. Through workshops, community events, and online resources, we aim to spread awareness and break the stigma associated with STIs.
• Screening and Testing: Early detection is crucial in the fight against STIs. We offer free and confidential point-of-service testing at various community locations. Our goal is to make testing accessible and remove barriers that prevent individuals from knowing their health status.
• Prevention Programs: We implement evidence-based prevention strategies tailored to the needs of our community. From distributing prevention supplies to providing vaccination services, we work tirelessly to reduce the incidence of STIs.
• Treatment and Care: For those diagnosed with STIs, we provide direct referrals to trusted healthcare providers for treatment and longitudinal care. Our partnerships with local healthcare organizations ensure that our clients receive the comprehensive care they need.
