HAHSTA Ryan White Capacity Building Assistance Training Center
DC Health’s HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, STI, and TB Administration (HAHSTA) is committed to improving the health outcomes of eligible Ryan White (RW) customers and recognizes sub-recipient capacity as an integral component to getting there. Because of this, HAHSTA, in collaboration with HealthHIV’s Effi Barry Training Institute, created the HAHSTA Ryan White Training Center (RWTC) as a required capacity building assistance program for its Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program sub-recipients. The HAHSTA RWTC’s focus is placed on the growth and development of capacity across five areas: organizational infrastructure, fiscal management, program management; data collection, reporting, and use; and quality management. Sub-recipients work closely with their RW Program Officers to ensure targeted and value-added educational opportunities to achieve and sustain the level of capacity needed to deliver quality services and help DC Health end the HIV epidemic.
As a sub-recipient of HRSA, DC Health funds organizations in the eligible metropolitan area (EMA) — including the District of Columbia, suburban Maryland, Northern Virginia, and two counties in West Virginia — to provide care and treatment services. Organizational capacity is a critical component to Ending the Epidemic. The HAHSTA RWTC provides self-directed learning opportunities to support ongoing professional development and capacity-building for these organizations to ensure high quality service delivery and successful program outcomes.
