Planning Council Documents & Policies

The Ryan White Planning Council of the Dallas Area (RWPC) is responsible for planning services that support the use of HIV medical care among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in a 12-county region. Although a full continuum of services are available through Ryan White funded programs and community linkages, understanding consumer needs allows the RWPC to effectively plan to improve access, reduce barriers, enhance service satisfaction and bring consumers who know their status and are not receiving medical care into the system. Funding allocations follow effective planning , and these comprehensive needs assessment were designed to provide the essential information for decision-making.

The purpose of this Plan is to develop a multi-year comprehensive and responsive system of care that addresses the needs and challenges of the community. The Comprehensive Plan is a living document that serves as a roadmap for the provision of the Ryan White Part A continuum of care that will be used to guide discussions and decision-making over the next three years. The Comprehensive Plan provides an opportunity to achieve the vision of an “ideal” system of care through review of needs assessment data, existing resources to meet those needs and the review of barriers to care. This Plan addresses new legislative and programmatic initiatives including the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law {P.L.} 111-148), as amended by the Reconciliation Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-152, collectively referred to as the Health Reform Law), the Early Identification of Individuals Living with HIV/AIDS, and the Healthy People 2020 goals and objectives.
