followinq paragraph, .our examination was made in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included
such tests of the,accounting records and such other auditinq''",'.,
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances:
Management has determined that additional accounting controls, to
ensure that *all voluntary contributions and cash"- 'sa,les' are
recorded are not cost justified. Because only voluntary
contributions and cash sales that are recorded are' susceptible

HEALTH CRISIS NETWORK, INC. 'fy

The,epidemric is growing and no cure is in sight. AIDS,
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, has been addressed by the
Surgeon General of the -United States as "...a life -threatening
disease and a major public health issue...(whose).impact on $
our society:.is and will continue to be devastating".
1
Florida ranks number three in the roll of states with,the
highest AIDS incidence. Miami, as a city ranks-7th. While z
the time-consuming task of research and ;cure of this -epidemic;
progresses, AIDS must.be fought on a service.and preventative
basis and attention must be paid to three important areas:
- service,: education and training. 1�
Service for those persons with AIDS is imperative. To,
find oneself, a: -partner, or family member,suddenly.,diagnosed
with AIDS:can be,devastating.. Often these, persons.,are abandoned.
by.loved.ones, Lfriends and. acquaintances. They; find,. themselves '
facing -&',slowly debilitating disease alone. The 1) son.who
may not -yet: be 'hospitalized:.finds him/herself trying; to.'
cope with a.system and institutions.insufficiently educated_
sE and unprepared to;-respond.to-this life -threatening health
? crisis. ;With an average life expectancy, of 18 months; to;,;,
2 years from diagnosisof full. -blown AIDS -(longer for HIV+ ;
1 and AIDS related complex), these persons have,a right: and. An
overwhelming need to live with dignity.
Health Crisis L Network Was created to assist in just that.;

of unwarranted fear requiring programs and outreach specifically
designed in a culturally,sensitive manner demanded by an
area encompassing Spanish, English and Creole speaking people...:._

businesses and institutions who may come into direct contact �~
with infected persons encompassing seminars, workshops and
dialogues to assist them in understanding AIDS.and HIV
infection,,.the person with AIDS, care and treatment of the
AIDS infected person, the risk involved with delivery of

services and the proper precautions to avoid transmission.
HCN is meeting these growing needs. Nine support groups
t
meet weekly at HCN encompassing over 200 people directly affected
by this epidemic. Limited transportation is provided to clients
Y
too ill'to drive and too weak to use public transportation.
. Individual counseling, in -home care, psychiatric service, ,food
and financial assistance are provided on a special need basis.
In the community, HCN averages over 25 educational persentations
per month reaching a monthly average of over 1000 participants f ,
- Y K
from such diverse groups as Miami police and fire departments,
community social clubs, Haitian mothers, hemophiliacs, to gay
bar owners and bartenders. HCN distributes an average of 2000 #
pamphlets and brochures every month.
The information and referral service of the agency answers
over 1000 calls per month on its "AIDS. Hotline" staffed by.English
and Spanish speaking volunteers, providing the community, with

Housewives, doctors, lawyers, teens, retirees, and professionals
make up the 250 strong volunteer corps at the heart of Health
Crisis Network. HCN relies on them and funding support of foundations,
corporations, and individual donations of a concerned public
for the realization of -its goals.
Health Crisis Network is the people of our diverse community
helping the entire community of South Florida deal with the
evergrowing AIDS epidemic. While science looks for a cure,
people can make a difference -- a difference for the person.
