Outreach Programs
THE NIGHTREACH PROGRAM
The Nightreach Program serves Springfield and all of Central and Southern Illinois. HIV, Hepatitis C, Gonorrhea and Chlamydia counseling and mobile testing services are offered during evening and late-night hours (primarily 6pm-4am) in locations where high-risk behavior (drug activity, sex activity, etc.) is known to occur. The aim of this program is harm reduction in whatever form that might take.
