Western North Carolina AIDS Project
Vision
A community free of HIV, Hepatitis C, and overdose deaths.
Mission
To provide equitable access to care and reduce harm from HIV, Hepatitis C, and drug use.
History
The Western North Carolina AIDS Project (WNCAP, pronounced win-cap) was founded in 1986 by a small group of committed volunteers. During the early years of the AIDS epidemic, WNCAP founders provided food, comfort, and care to people with AIDS-related illnesses.
In the 1990s, WNCAP developed prevention education and a case management program. Later, WNCAP also added harm reduction and pharmacy services.
Today, WNCAP serves thousands of people across 18 counties in Western North Carolina: Cleveland, Avery, Mitchell, Yancey, McDowell, Rutherford, Polk, Henderson, Buncombe, Madison, Haywood, Transylvania, Jackson, Swain, Macon, Graham, Clay, and Cherokee.
All WNCAP services are 100 percent free and confidential.
