This innovative program was funded in August 2005 by AmeriCorp and is focused on placing professional nurses for a two year commitment to serve in community health clinics and public health departments that serve vulnerable, resilient populations. The nurses receive mentoring from Georgetown Nursing faculty and an educational stipend of more than $9000 to pay off their student loans or start graduate school. Prior to coming to Georgetown, Dr. Aranda-Naranjo spent five years working at HRSA in the HIV/AIDS bureau and served in the following positions: the Branch Chief for Special Projects of National Significance, the Deputy Director for the Division of Community Based programs, and the Acting Director of the Division of Science and Policy. In these roles she was both innovative and tenacious in ensuring that the funding of new projects was sensitized by not only the voices of the health care providers but the people living with HIV/AIDS. Dr. Aranda-Naranjo is best known for her leadership in developing the South Texas AIDS Center for children and families with her colleagues at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio in 1988, funded by HRSA. This Center, after 18 years, continues to exist today as the South Texas Family AIDS Network (STFAN) housed at the University Health System. The goal of STFAN has remained the same: to provide culturally competent quality care and coordinate support services to individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS to improve physical, spiritual and emotional well-being.
