Annual Report 2013 - 2014
This Annual Report marks a year of significant change for us. It was our first full year doing
business as ACR Health, and our first full year of expanding our Care Management services to
those living with chronic diseases beyond just those with HIV. This report also marks our
Individuals serving
expanded capacity to offer health insurance navigation services, courtesy of the Affordable
during the 2013-2014
Health Care Act, throughout our Central, Northern, and Mohawk Valley region. In nine
fiscal year
months of this past fiscal year we saw over 6100 individuals and completed enrollments for
over 4200. The response was, and continues to be, overwhelmingly positive.
Suzanne Kondra-DeFuria
This past year we initiated plans to expand our Syracuse-based syringe exchange
Chair
service, and submitted an application to NYS to run a similar service out of our Utica
office, which is now up and running.
Andrew London
Building upon our Syringe Exchange experiences, we began to offer opiate overdose
protection trainings along with kits designed to reverse the effects of an opiate overdose.
Vice-Chair
The community response was immediate and enthusiastic, with requests for instruction
straining our limited staff resources.
Gina Tonello
In recognition of our exponential growth, the Syracuse-based, Gifford Foundation,
Secretary
included ACR Health in their ADVANS initiative: a two year guided capacity building
enterprise designed to foster planning, balance, and best practices, on every level, along
Kim J. Rieppel
with a monetary component to support program outcomes.
Treasurer
It’s been a challenging and gratifying year, and we’re pleased and excited to
provide you with this report. Please visit our newly designed Web page, ACRHealth.org,
Anthony Adornato
for further information. Thank you to all of our volunteers and supporters who are such
a big part of our growing competency and service capacity: you make all the difference.

Navigator Success Story
ACR Health added a team of 14 highly-trained “Navigators”
to steer New Yorkers to the best and most affordable health
insurance coverage available from the state insurance
exchange under auspices of the Affordable Care Act
(ACA). Honored by the Community Service Society for
having the Most Innovative Enrollment Strategy
statewide, ACR Navigators:
When Jude Swift lost
her job she also lost
her health insurance.
After being diagnosed
with Rheumatoid
Arthritis, her monthly prescriptions came to $2,000. Without the health insurance she found through Assistant
Director of Support Services and Navigator Program
Director Steve Wood, Ms. Swift would not have been able
to afford medication. “I am so grateful; I had no idea where
to turn. ACR Health Navigators gave me my life back!”

ACR Health named
2013 Recycler of the Year
ACR Health was recognized by the Onondaga County
Resource Recovery Agency as Recycler of the Year due
to its stellar recycling and waste reduction practices.
“ACR Health has a first rate recycling program in place;
their employees do the utmost good for the environment
in their Syracuse main office,” said Dave Nettle, OCRRA
recycling specialist. “Every business has a recycling
champion or two. At ACR Health, Lisa Mulcahey,
executive administrative assistant, and office manager
Ekrem Berbatovci exemplify how passion for the
environment can also result in significant achievements
in the workplace.”
March 5, 2014 ~ ACR Green Team leaders Ekrem Berbatovci and
Lisa Mulcahey accept the Blue Ribbon Recycler of the Year award.
Deputy Executive Director Wil Murtaugh (holding the plaque
made of 100% recycled materials) stands next to OCRRA’s Dave
Nettle and Andrew Radin.
“Our mission at ACR Health is about improving the
health of those we serve. Our ‘green commitment’ to act
more responsibly as an agency, reducing recyclables in
landfills and the incinerator, is one way we believe
contributes to the broader community’s overall health,”
said Michael Crinnin.
Volunteer Services
Whether donating time, money, or both, those who give to ACR Health expand our reach and
viability. Our mission would not be accomplished without them.

Support Services
ACR Health has more than 30 years experience in connecting people with the services they need.
From 1983-2011, ACR Care Managers worked exclusively with HIV/AIDS clients. Now, under the
state program “Health Homes” Medicaid-eligible individuals with two or more chronic conditions
became eligible for care management services, more than doubling the number of people
receiving ACR Health Care Management.
HIV/AIDS Care Management
Health Homes
Care Management keeps Medicaid patients like 58-yearold Eli Johnson out of emergency rooms and reduces the
overall cost of healthcare. Eli now meets regularly with his
physician to keep his chronic conditions under control.
“Health Homes has
made me accountable
for my health by
providing me with a
support network and
the courage to
get help.”
July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014:
Our 229 legacy clients, HIV positive individuals,
continue to receive a comprehensive array of support
services: links to Primary Medical Care, Substance
Abuse Treatment, Financial Benefits, Housing, Legal
Assistance, Nutrition, and Transportation.
Employment Initiative
The new Employment Initiative helps prospective
employees complete new resumes, practice job interview
techniques, master the soft skills that employers are looking
for, and focus on the skills needed for employment.
Between November 1, 2013 (program start date)
and June 30, 2014, seven clients became gainfully
employed and remained employed for at least 30 days. Three of those clients went from part time to full time
employment. A total of 22 resumes were written.

Prevention Services
As a provider rooted in the harm reduction approach, ACR prevention staff target high risk groups
like injection drug users, sex workers, and incarcerated people with services and education.
Without judgment, we work with disenfranchised and marginalized populations to tackle public
health issues such as HIV and viral hepatitis. ACR Health provides rapid testing for HIV and
Hepatitis C (HCV), and testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea. In addition, ACR Health provides
behavioral health education about sexually transmitted infections, HIV and viral hepatitis,
individual risk counseling, and peer training.

75%
• Men who have sex with men (MSM) account for
of all new HIV infections (CDC 2008-2010)
• More than half of these were among MSM of color
More than thirty years into the AIDS epidemic, Blacks, just
14% of the U.S. population, account for nearly half of the
more than 1.1 million Americans living with HIV, almost half
of all new HIV infections in the United States, and nearly
half of all those who have died with AIDS in this country.
How can this be turned around? At ACR Health the
answer is straightforward: Focused efforts at engaging
high-risk populations, including minorities, in our services,
building rapport and trust with clients, and fostering
dialogue about race and health in our communities.
Criminal Justice Initiative:

Criminal Justice Initiative (CJI) contractors representing 11
organizations from around NY State convened in Syracuse
to discuss best practices and biggest obstacles CJI
Contractors face inside correctional facilities - a tremendous

which are a disciplinary segregation form of housing.

Youth Services
Adolescent Health Initiative
The Adolescent Health Initiative is a targeted prevention program
focused on reducing the rates of HIV/AIDS, STDs, substance use/abuse,
and teen pregnancy among our youth. The program equips young
people with information and skills to make healthy choices throughout
their lives by providing evidence-based sexual health education
sessions, Peer Education workshops, HIV, STD, and Hepatitis C (HCV)
testing, and linkages to local health and human service providers.
•
LGBTQ
ACR Health’s LGBTQ youth programs, which include the Q Center in
Syracuse, the Q2 in Utica, and bi-weekly support groups in Herkimer
County, provide a safe space for LGBTQ youth to gather and receive
support from caring adults. The program also provides case management
services, HIV, Hepatitis C and STD testing, mental health assessments
and referrals for LGBTQ affirming clinical services, and referrals
to LGBTQ affirming health and human service providers.
2,300 young people were reached with HIV,
STD, and pregnancy prevention messages.
• More than 500 youth were trained as Peer Educators
throughout our nine-county service area .
LGBTQ youth from our nine-county service area advocate for
LGBTQ New Yorkers at Equality and Justice Day in Albany.
LGBTQ Youth programs also provided:
236
Peer Educators (calling themselves the Teen AIDS Task Force TATF) used the AIDS Quilt to conduct 75 awareness campaigns,
reaching more than 5,000 of their peers with positive messages
about health and well-being. Peer Educators also taught 100
health classes and hosted assemblies.
Peer Educators fundraised for the Sled for RED and
the AIDS Walk/Runs, were Holiday Angels, conducted
food and personal care items drives for ACR Health
clients, and wrote grants to local foundations to
support families in their communities.
Adolescent Health Initiative is supported by the United Way of
Central New York, the United Way of Northern NY, and the United
Way of the Valley and Greater Utica.

Human Service Unit.
Intensive Case Management for LGBTQ youth became available for the
first time for LGBTQ Youth in 2013.
“I helped youth retrieve parts of their lives that were lost; helped them reconnect back
to the community. Major issues were homelessness, hunger, depression, lack of identification,
and the stigma of belonging to the LGBTQ community. The simple gesture of helping
and listening to youth during their most vulnerable time, then watching them grow
and become giving members of their community should answer any questions as
to why Care Managers do their jobs.”

Development
ACR Health’s Development Department engages all year long in fundraising activities, working hard
to supplement government contracts which often cover only bare bones expenses for those we
serve. Development also maintains important services grants don’t cover. For example, nearly the
entire Youth Services budget: the Adolescent Health Initiative, the Q Center, and LGBTQ activity
throughout nine counties, which serves thousands of youth, is financed by fundraising activities.
To highlight just five fundraising events that
are held in Central New York, the Mohawk
Valley, and the North Country every year...
$175,000
$52,000
ACR Health Development Team:
Joe Maxsween, Maureen Harrington O’Neill,
Jacki Coe, Melissa Swald Camman, and
Carrie Portzline-Large, Development Director.
$48,000
$22,000
$67,000
In addition to high profile events, there are dozens of smaller affairs where ACR Health donors open their homes for a
Q Cocktail Party, organize a bowling tournament, or act as a Celebrity Bartender. Over the course of a year, thousands of
people give their energy and time to help ACR Health fulfill its mission. They are joined by many businesses throughout
our nine-county service area that provided $175,000 in in-kind contributions.
DONORS: Why they give
In the Mohawk Valley, supporter Alex
Carbone, has at least three good reasons
to invest in a healthy future for the
Mohawk Valley – his daughters. Alex,
owner of Carbone Auto Group supports
the AIDS Hike for Life as a Celebrity
Bartender and is a Corporate Sponsor
of the Bubble Blast Run.
In the North Country, Carmen Sweet
has participated in the First Frost AIDS
Walk/Run every year since it began in
2000. He has personally raised $72,281
and, along with his Friends of Carmen team,
contributed a total of $90,912 to Adolescent
Health initiatives and Emergency Client
Needs in the North Country.
In Central New York, Kevin and Ludger Viefhues-Bailey support the Q Center because “We are moved by how
many of our youth are profoundly pained by a sense of isolation and loneliness and how uplifting and life giving
it is for them to have a community.” They honor the memory of Ludger’s mother who dedicated holiday parties
to benefit causes she supported. Their annual holiday party benefits the Q Center.
