ACR Health

ACR Health is a nonprofit health organization in Upstate New York that serves more than 16,000 individuals every year across nine counties. Founded in 1983, ACR Health has served the community for thirty-eight years. Originally called the AIDS Task Force of Central New York from 1983-1994, the agency changed its name in 1994 to AIDS Community Resources to better reflect its purpose.

 With continued growth and expansion of services beyond HIV/AIDS prevention and support, the organization again changed its name to ACR Health in 2013. The agency serves those not only with HIV/AIDS but also those with chronic illnesses; Q Centers for LGBTQGNC & QTBIPOC youth; comprehensive insurance navigation and advocacy; syringe exchange in Syracuse, Utica, and Watertown; and a medical clinic for those who use substances.

Mission: To create healthy communities by opening doors to services that enhance the wellbeing of all.
