VAN NUYS, Calif.—On Thursday, February 3, AIM (formerly Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation) re-opened for full services. According to Sharon Mitchell, AIM's CEO, "We’re up and running and here to stay!"
"Yes, we’re back and still providing the same important services for early detection HIV, STDs (testing and treatment), doctor visits, and general health check-ups," Mitchell emphasized. "From Pap smear, to Pelvic exam, we continue to provide the same stellar service in a one-stop visit." AIM's counseling and referral services are available by appointment as usual. AIM-Med.org offers online testing throughout the USA. AIM provides services for the sexually active person to be as safe as possible while enjoying work or play.
"Our outlook has been and always will remain, Sexual Health in Body, Mind, Emotion and Spirit," Mitchell declared.
As the doors to the clinic re-opened, however, there was one big change: The Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation is now AIM Medical Associates P.C., a private corporation. Visitors to the clinic will experience only improvements in the day-to-day client services provided by AIM.
The change in the corporate status of AIM will now allow for the evolution into the vision begun 13 years ago. Relieved from pointless harassment that came with oversight from the County Health Department, the new AIM more appropriately is responsible to the California Medical Association. AIM plans to provide more services, both on the internet and in-house, and continue its relationships with current clients while welcoming new ones.
"We at AIM would like to take the opportunity to thank our Board of Directors for their commitment to the mission, serving without compensation, despite unfair adversities," Mitchell said. "Also our attorneys, CPA, and the staff who have been invaluable especially in these last 55 days to get us here and now. Most of all, AIM would like to thank our clients who kept us going these last two months. Through your support, we knew that we would once again look forward to this day, and being of service to you. Thank you."
