Series: 1. Advocacy: State, Local, and Federal Government,
1989-2001 : From the earliest days of the AIDS epidemic, Vivent Health believed it was
essential to include government advocacy as a major part of its mission. The
government response to AIDS was initially slow and minimal which required
strong, effective advocacy to increase funding and ensure enlightened AIDS
policies by government at the state, local, and federal levels. ARCW focused
its advocacy efforts on securing and increasing government funding to help
build a comprehensive system of HIV prevention, care and treatment services
throughout Wisconsin. ARCW's lobbying began with the State Legislature,
Governor and the State Department of Health Services and soon extended to
the City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, and other county governments.

Subseries: State Government, 1989-2001ARCW proposed and lobbied for the Wisconsin AIDS Initiative, a
proposal that for the first time would provide state funding to
support HIV/AIDS patients through a statewide centralized case
management system called Life Care Services. ARCW won bipartisan
support for the proposal.
ARCW won support for a $150,000 grant to the Wisconsin AIDS Research
Consortium for HIV clinical drug trial research, and for an increase
in Life Care Services funding to $1.8 million. To increase the
effectiveness of AIDS advocacy, ARCW formed the Wisconsin AIDS
Response Network (WARN) comprised of all AIDS Service Organizations
in the state.
ARCW worked with the Secretary of the Department of Health Services
and the Governor to establish new funding in the state budget for
early medical intervention services for HIV patients. $680,000 was
approved for AIDS Service Organizations to provide physical health
assessments, mental health screenings and laboratory testing. This
was the first health care-related funding from the state for AIDS
Service Organizations. ARCW lobbied for and won an increase of
$420,000 in Life Care Services funding. In total, AIDS funding in
this state budget increased by $1.1 million and the Life Care
Services biennial funding rose to a total of $2.4 million, double
the amount initially set for the program in the 1989-1991 state
budget.
In the 1995-1997 biennial state budget, ARCW lobbied successfully to
avoid cuts to AIDS funding and with strong bi-partisan support won a
surprising unanimous vote on the Legislature’s Joint Finance
Committee to increase Life Care Services funding by $223,000 or
7%.
In 1997, ARCW expanded the WARN system to involve citizen advocates
from throughout the state. It created AIDS Action Wisconsin and
urged concerned citizens to join in advocating for responsive AIDS
policies. These advocates were very helpful to ARCW as it lobbied
for and won AIDS funding increases in the 1997-1999 biennial
budget.
In 1999, ARCW held the first AIDS lobby day at the State Capitol with
123 AIDS Action Wisconsin advocates participating. Their advocacy
helped ARCW win support for a $300,000 increase in state prevention
funding and a $200,000 increase in Life Care Services funding in the
1999-2001 biennial budget.

Subseries: City of Milwaukee, 1989-2001ARCW initiated its advocacy for City of Milwaukee AIDS funding in
1993 with a $190,000 AIDS funding proposal entitled the Milwaukee
AIDS Initiative. ARCW recruited five other agencies providing AIDS
services in Milwaukee to join a coalition with ARCW to secure and
receive City funding through the Milwaukee AIDS Initiative. HIV
services to be funded by the initiative included HIV education and
prevention outreach, testing, and case management, food services,
housing services, and legal services. Despite initial opposition
from Mayor John Norquist, the proposal was eventually funded.
In the 1995 city budget, ARCW advocacy was required when the
Personnel and Finance Committee of the Common Council cut $69,200 in
historic ARCW AIDS prevention funding from the budget. Following an
intensive lobby effort with Council members, ARCW won a major
victory to restore the proposed cut and also to retain the Milwaukee
AIDS Initiative.
In the 1997 city budget ARCW lobbied for a new funding initiative
called the Milwaukee Partnership to Stop AIDS which would bring the
City of Milwaukee into partnership with Milwaukee County, the State
of Wisconsin, and private sector donors in a comprehensive
prevention strategy to reduce HIV infection among the Milwaukee’s
6,000 injection drug users. In total, it was a $1 million program
with the City of Milwaukee contributing new funding of $100,000. The
Common Council and the Mayor eventually supported an additional
$50,000 in AIDS funding for the Milwaukee AIDS Initiative, bringing
its total funding to $240,000.
In spring 1993 the City of Milwaukee experienced a severe
contamination of its drinking water with cryptosporidium causing
extreme gastrointestinal and diarrheal illness for 400,000
residents. During the crisis, 92 AIDS patients died. ARCW provided its clients with clean water, and advised them not to
drink Milwaukee tap water and to monitor their health in
collaboration with Milwaukee area physicians. ARCW also worked with
Milwaukee’s City Health Department, Common Council, and Mayor to
secure their acknowledgement of the life-threatening nature of
cryptosporidiosis for AIDS patients and their cooperation in
offering specific recommendations for avoiding and managing
cryptosporidiosis among immune compromised individuals.

Subseries: Milwaukee County, 1995-2000ARCW extended its advocacy to Milwaukee County in 1994 which resulted in
$50,000 of funding for AIDS prevention in the 1995 budget. The 1997 budget included funding for the Stop
Teen AIDS program that focused on reducing HIV infection
among high risk youth. During this budget cycle, ARCW also took steps to
reduce HIV transmission among gay and bisexual men and reduce public sex
activity in Milwaukee County parks. ARCW advocated for funding to support its Lifepoint clean needle exchange
program in the 1999 County Budget. Despite the support of the County
Executive and the Finance and Audit Committee of the County Board, the
full County Board narrowly voted to remove the $100,000 funding from the
budget. The following year ARCW broadened its Milwaukee County budget request by
integrating the needle exchange program with a new HIV & Hepatitis C
Prevention & Drug Treatment Harm Reduction initiative. ARCW affirmed
that county funding would not be used to purchase needles, but would be
used to fund an increase in ARCW prevention and needle exchange staff.
With this assurance, the County Executive and the County Board provided
$100,000 of funding for the expanded harm reduction prevention program
for injection drug users.

Subseries: Ryan White Care Act,
1993-1999ARCW advocacy with the federal government began with participation on
the Board of Directors of the national AIDS Action Council whose
mission is to bring AIDS public policy advocacy to Congress and the
Executive branch. From 1992 to 1996, ARCW President and CEO Doug
Nelson was a member of the board of directors of the AIDS Action
Council. ARCW COO Mike Gifford served on the board from 1997 to
2002. This participation engaged ARCW in federal government advocacy
with significant influence in the development of the national AIDS
policy agenda and its implementation by the federal government. Congress enacted the Ryan White CARE Act in 1990 to improve the
availability of care for low-income, uninsured, and under-insured
people with HIV. The funding formulas in the legislation awarded
significantly more AIDS funding to a few large cities hardest hit by
the AIDS crisis—San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, and
others—and less funding to those with fewer AIDS cases. When the legislation was up for reauthorization in 1994, ARCW
examined the funding formulas and discovered that some states
received up to $4,000 more per AIDS case than Wisconsin. As a member
of the AIDS Action Council, ARCW urged a change in the funding
formulas to achieve more equitable Ryan White funding per AIDS case
throughout the country. Large AIDS service organizations (ASOs) from
high-funded states, however, were in control of the Council and
consistently opposed ARCW-recommended changes. In its quest for equitable AIDS funding, ARCW organized the Campaign
for Fairness, a national coalition of ASOs in 47 states that
supported equitable funding. Representing the Campaign, ARCW leaders
Doug Nelson and Mike Gifford made the case for equitable funding to
Congress and the Clinton Administration. Two years of advocacy
resulted in a Congressional victory for more equitable funding
formulas. When President Clinton signed the Ryan White CARE Act in
1996, the new equitable formulas allocated millions more in AIDS
funding for HIV services throughout the nation.

Subseries: Medicaid Expansion,
1994-1997 : ARCW lobbied the federal Health Care Financing Administration to
expand the Medicaid program to include low-income, newly diagnosed
individuals with HIV disease. With costly new HIV treatments
patients needed early medical intervention to avoid progression to
AIDS, to remain healthy and to avoid intensive and costly AIDS
treatments. By changing the Medicaid eligibility policy to eliminate
the disability requirement and to expand coverage to all low income
HIV patients, Medicaid would help to assure HIV patient access to
essential care thus reducing progression to AIDS and treatments that
would be costly for Medicaid.

Subseries: ARCW Special Events: AIDS Walk Wisconsin,
1991-2000 : Videos are listed in chronological order. : AIDS Walk Wisconsin is organized by Vivent Health, is held in Milwaukee
and is the largest AIDS fundraiser in Wisconsin. It is an annual event,
established in 1990, at which thousands of walkers raise pledges that
support AIDS prevention, care, and treatment services in Wisconsin. From
the beginning there have been well known personalities such as public
officials, sports stars and actors as honorary chairs selected each year
to help promote the Walk. In the early years a breakfast was held with a
program featuring the honorary chairs and corporate sponsors of the
Walk. Wisconsin AIDS Walk was the original name of the event which was
changed to AIDS Walk Wisconsin along with the addition of a run for
those preferring to run rather than walk the route.

Series: 4. Board of Directors, Meeting Minutes, 1985-2013This series documents the operation and development of Vivent Health. The
1985 folder reflects the organizational development phase of ARCW. The
minutes of January 1985 are from the Board of Directors of the Brady East
STD Clinic that considered the establishment of the Milwaukee AIDS Project.
Minutes that follow that meeting are from meetings of the Milwaukee AIDS
Project. The first minutes of the ARCW Board of Directors date from April 1986.
Included in these minutes is the historic memorandum explaining the origins
of ARCW, its articles of incorporation, and its initial bylaws. Beginning in
1991 the minutes included the board meeting agendas and minutes of standing
committees and the Board of Directors. Ultimately the minutes became part of
comprehensive Board of Directors meeting packets that included all minutes
of the board and standing committees, annual budget proposals, program
reports, strategic plan performance, quality assessment reports, fundraising
and special event reports and copies of print media coverage of ARCW
activities.

Series: 6. Financial Statements, 1988-2013Financial statements show increases in government grant revenue and private
sector funding, and the impact of the pharmacy on Vivent Health's financial
position. The first financial audit of ARCW was conducted in 1988 and reflects a
nine-month fiscal period from April 1, 1988 to December 31, 1988 due to a
change in the ARCW fiscal year from a March to a December fiscal year end.
Similarly, the 1999 ARCW audited financial statements reflects an
eight-month fiscal period from January 1, 1999 to August 31, 1999, due to a
change in the ARCW fiscal year from a December to an August fiscal year end.
The 1988 and 1989 fiscal period audits are combined and included in the 1989
statement. Similarly the 1990 and 1991 fiscal period audits are combined and
included in the 1991 statement.

raising private sector donations. They are high profile and high energy
events that provide donors with the opportunity to contribute funds to
Vivent Health and to gather in solidarity with fellow donors gaining
inspiration for continued support of Vivent Health. Annual fundraisers
include the Make A Promise Gala, which began in 1986, and AIDS Walk
Wisconsin, which began in 1990. These two events draw thousands of Vivent

Series: 13. State Designation of ARCW as an AIDS Service Organization,
1997-1998 : In June 1997 the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services issued a
Request for Proposals (RFP) for state designation of agencies as AIDS
Service Organizations (ASO). State designation as an ASO was highly
important for ARCW as it provided millions of dollars in state prevention,
life care services, early intervention and federal Ryan White Care Act
funding that the state distributed. The RFP allowed applicants from five
distinct public health regions to compete for ASO designation. Consistent
with its evolution throughout the state, ARCW applied for ASO designation in
the southeast, northeast, western, and northern regions of Wisconsin. It
received state ASO designation in those four regions and for the statewide
AIDS/HIV Information/Referral Hotline and Resource Center. : This series contains the applications for each region and the statewide
hotline/resource center. Inside each binder in the front left pocket are the
review scores by the Department of Health and Family Services. Also in this
series are the official RFP by the Department of Health and Family Services
and the revised ARCW work plans submitted to the Department in January 1998
based on feedback and suggestions of the Department.

Series: 15. United Way Applications and Allocations,
1998-2009In the 1980s, very few United Way agencies accepted AIDS Service
Organizations as members and therefore very little United Way funds were
designated for AIDS services. Many AIDS organizations applied for funding
from their local United Way agencies and were denied. In Wisconsin, the United Way of Greater Milwaukee was the first United Way to
fund AIDS services, and it did so by inviting ARCW to become a member agency
in 1990. As a United Way member agency, ARCW was guaranteed funding for its
services every year. Having gained United Way membership in Milwaukee, ARCW
applied for United Way funding in many areas of Wisconsin where ARCW
provided significant services, including prevention education and outreach
programs, food pantry services, the dental clinic, the mental health clinic,
and patient case management. Additionally, the United Way of Greater
Milwaukee was the first United Way in the country to fund clean needle
exchange programs.
