February 27, 2009

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Project Inform, a national HIV/AIDS public policy and treatment advocacy organization, applauds President Obama’s appointment of Jeffrey Crowley as the new Director of the Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP). Crowley is a longtime advocate on behalf of people living with HIV/AIDS and a noted expert in health care and disability issues. Project Inform has partnered with Crowley for over ten years in federal HIV and health care policy advocacy.

President Obama’s selection demonstrates a strong commitment to combating the domestic HIV epidemic. By choosing someone with impeccable expertise, commitment, and deep ties to affected communities, the President has sent a strong signal that he will ensure that the needs of people living with and at risk for HIV are included in health care reform discussions and that he will prioritize the development of a National AIDS Strategy.

“Project Inform is thrilled with the appointment of Jeffrey Crowley as Director of National AIDS Policy,” said Anne Donnelly, Director of Health Care Policy. “His longtime commitment to ensuring quality health care for people with HIV/AIDS, particularly the most vulnerable, and his demonstrated expertise with systems serving the community makes him a perfect choice to lead this office as we enter serious discussions about health care reform and the development of a National AIDS Strategy.”
