History

Rooted in the 1998 merger of Health Crisis Network (1983) and Community Research Initiative (1989) , Care Resource is one of South Florida’s oldest and largest HIV/AIDS service organizations.

Health Crisis Network (HCN), founded in 1983, focused on providing a response to the epidemic with crisis intervention, social support and educational programs. Community Research Initiative (CRI), founded in 1989, pioneered the implementation of community-based clinical trials through its network of physicians across Miami-Dade and Broward Counties.

Virtually all of the popular antiretroviral drugs widely used today have been studied by the health center through its clinical research program. In 1999 primary medical care was implemented, creating a system to rapidly and effectively triage those identified as HIV positive into a comprehensive system for medical care and supportive services.

In 2009, Care Resource became a Federally Qualified Health Center with offices in Fort Lauderdale, Midtown Miami, Little Havana and Miami Beach, offering general primary care and wraparound support services to the whole South Florida community.
