We don't work alone.
Community work does not always begin with a grant, a program, or a formal partnership. Sometimes it begins because someone notices what is missing and decides to do something useful about it.
LTGR shows up where we can be useful. We share what we know, learn from people already doing the work, connect people to care, and make room for others to bring what they know.
We don't need to own the work to be part of it. We just need to know that the work matters.
Staying with the work
For years, LTGR has worked to make Hepatitis C testing, treatment, and cure easier to reach.
That work has taken us beyond the clinic and into recovery communities, harm reduction settings, re-entry programs, public health efforts, and the places where people are already doing the hard work of rebuilding their lives.
We have worked alongside organizations across the region, sometimes through formal partnerships and sometimes simply because there was work to do. The structure may change. The goal does not: find people who need care, remove what stands between them and treatment, and stay long enough to see the work through.
Today, that work continues through deeper relationships with recovery, treatment, re-entry, and supportive housing organizations. We bring education, screening, treatment, and follow-up care closer to the communities where recovery is already happening.
Being part of the community means being in it.
A medical practice cannot understand people only by what happens in an exam room.
For years, LTGR has shown up in the conversations, celebrations, challenges, and changes affecting the communities we serve. We listen. We advocate. We lend our voice when it can help and our hands when they are needed.
Sometimes our role is medical. Sometimes it is educational. Sometimes it is simply to stand alongside people already doing important work.
We believe care gets better when we understand the lives people are actually living.
Responding to what we see.
Some work begins because a need keeps showing up.
When we see the same barriers, questions, or gaps affecting people again and again, we pay attention. Sometimes the response belongs inside the clinic. Sometimes it becomes education, outreach, a new initiative, or work built with others.
S.A.M.E.
Sexual Awareness Means Everyone
We don't all know the same things. S.A.M.E. creates more ways for people to learn, ask questions, and be part of the conversation about sexual health.
Built in St. Petersburg around community conversations and trusted connections, S.A.M.E. connects awareness with information, prevention, testing, and care.
Recovery Health Partnership Initiative
Healthcare connections built with recovery communities.
For years, LTGR has worked alongside recovery organizations to connect people with Hep-C testing, treatment, and cure.
That work showed us what can happen when the connection to healthcare holds. The Recovery Health Partnership Initiative builds on that experience, creating clear pathways to care with organizations already connected to the people we hope to reach.
Work is better when it is shared.
Over the years, LTGR has worked alongside organizations across healthcare, recovery, harm reduction, advocacy, public health, and community life.
Some relationships have been formal. Others have grown around a shared need, a particular moment, or simply the recognition that something useful could be done together.
We are grateful for the people and organizations that have opened doors, shared knowledge, made introductions, challenged our thinking, and worked beside us.

The next useful conversation.
We know what we know. Other people know things we don't.
If your organization sees a need, has an idea, or is doing work that could be stronger together, we are interested in the conversation.
