HIV/AIDS in Indiana > Advisory Groups > Comprehensive HIV Services Planning & Advisory Council (CHSPAC) Comprehensive HIV Services Planning & Advisory Council (CHSPAC)

Mission Statement

The overall mission of the Council is to work in partnership with Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH). Jointly, the Council and ISDH share the mission of assuring HIV-positive individuals and their families access to a comprehensive network of high quality care and treatment services.

The Indiana State Department of Health's Division of HIV/STD/Viral Hepatitis formed the Indiana Comprehensive HIV Services Planning and Advisory Council  in 1999. The Council's purpose is to advise on the planning and development of a continuum of high quality, culturally sensitive, cost effective, client-centered health care and supportive services for persons with HIV disease and their families.

The Council is responsible for advising ISDH on HIV services. The membership of the Planning Council is designed to include service providers and those infected/affected with HIV.

Specifically, the Council fulfills the following tasks:

  1. Assesses the present and future prevalence and impact of HIV/AIDS in Indiana using data provided by the Indiana State Department of Health.
  2. Identifies current HIV care and treatment services available.
  3. Documents the unmet HIV service needs of individuals and their caregivers.
  4. Prioritizes HIV service needs and propose priority strategies and interventions.
  5. Develops a Statewide Coordinated Statement of Need and Comprehensive Plan, based on accurate community assessment for the organization and delivery of HIV/AIDS related services.
  6. Fosters and promotes the organization, coordination and delivery of HIV/AIDS services in Indiana.
  7. Assesses the effectiveness of the services offered in meeting the identified need.
