We had so much fun during our annual staff holiday party! 🎄 🎅 Participants in our "ugly" Christmas sweater contest twirled down the runway, and our first place winner stole the hearts of the entire audience.

Next up we had the annual gingerbread house building competition. We saw an impressive showing from each of the five groups! In first place, we enjoyed warm thoughts from the Christmas on the beach team 🏖️ 🥇Second, we were thoroughly amused by this cute gingerbread house inspired by Casey House itself 🥈. Finally, honourable mentions to our gingerbread finance office, disco-volleyball-bonanza, and delayed but not least-- our holiday subway station 🥉.

Happy holidays from everyone at Casey House! ❄️

December 1st is World AIDS Day and the start of Indigenous AIDS Awareness Week ❤. At Casey House, we held our annual service of remembrance ceremony to commemorate clients who have died this past year 🕯. Each name contains multitudes of stories, feelings, hopes, and dreams. Today, we honour them with dignity and grace alongside their loved ones, friends, community members, and frontline workers.

As Canada’s first and only stand alone HIV specialty hospital, we at Casey House have witnessed how the state of HIV and HIV health care has changed across five decades. We continue to see increasing rates of HIV diagnoses in Canada, including in African, Black, and Caribbean people; Indigenous people; people who use drugs; and people who have heterosexual in*******se. HIV is still here, and unfortunately, barriers that prevent people from accessing testing, treatment, and resources remain. HIV stigma in communities can hold people back from finding out their status. Yet, everyone has an HIV status.

For World AIDS Day, we encourage everyone to know their HIV status and to challenge stigma that discriminates against people living with and at risk of HIV.

World AIDS Day is almost here, but HIV prevention and treatment continues after December 1st.

Health is a human right. That means access to HIV testing, prevention and treatment options at zero cost. It means culturally-safe, community-led care that speaks to people. HIV is manageable like other chronic conditions.— but only if people can meaningfully access support freely, safely, and without stigma. As the population of new HIV cases continually shifts, so should our approaches to providing health care. It means welcoming, respectful, and trauma-informed support. At Casey House, we strive to provide stigma-free health care in ways people can accept.

Casey House is pleased to be a community partner with Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research (CANFAR) to raises awareness for HIV this World AIDS Day. Beyond December 1st, we will continue to provide care for and advocate on behalf of people living with and at risk of HIV.

New cases of HIV in Canada are on the rise across the board. In fact, some of the most notable groups for new transmissions include; women; Black, African, and Caribbean people; Indigenous people; heterosexual sexual encounters; and people who use substances intravenously.

The landscape of HIV is changing in Canada, and care needs to be compassionate and holistic. At Casey House, we continue to evolve our service offerings to better care for our ever-changing community of people living with and at risk of HIV. With World AIDS Day right around the corner, learn more about how we support our clients, at caseyhouse.ca

Thank you to Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research (CANFAR) for encouraging Canadians to see the person, not the status this World AIDS Day.

Our Transgender Day of Remembrance 🕯🏳️‍⚧️ gathering was organized and led by members of Casey House's trans health hub advisory. The event began with an opportunity for participants to honour trans people – alive or passed on – who have made a meaningful impact on their lives. The names and something about them were written and posted on a commemoration board, with some also shared out loud. Not only did this event recognize people who died, there was an intentional thought to “give people their flowers” while they’re still alive. Members Christine, Jannat, and Nyasha shared their experiences, realities, and statistics living as trans people. We thank the entire advisory, including co-lead Ocean, for conceiving of this thoughtful and emotionally moving event. Trans folks deserve full and vibrant lives with the same dignities afforded to us all.

HIV is still here. Yet nationwide, most Canadians are not aware that new HIV diagnoses are on the rise.

For World AIDS Day, Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research (CANFAR) and AIDS service organizations encourage you to see the person—not the status. People can thrive while living with HIV when they can access care. As Canada’s only HIV specialty hospital, Casey House is proud to build relationships that enable people living with and at risk of HIV to access and engage in stigma-free health care. To learn more about how we do that, check out our website at caseyhouse.ca

Today, November 20th, we recognize Transgender Day of Remembrance 🏳️‍⚧️🕯. began in 1999 when transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith held a vigil to remember Rita Hester, a Black transgender woman who was murdered. Since then, people gather annually to express grief and anger in response to violence and trauma inflicted against trans people.

These folks-- especially those who are Black and Indigenous-- encounter prejudice in institutions of health, education, sports, and criminal justice systems. As a hospital, Casey House continues to develop support for trans-affirming care in collaboration with our trans advisory committee, who will be holding a TDoR ceremony later today. We affirm wholeheartedly that trans lives are deserving of love, joy, and equity as we continue to strive toward accessible and dignified health care for all.

Whether positive, negative, or unknown, each one of us has an HIV status. Knowing your status is a way to take control of your health, protect yourself, your partners and your community, and access treatment or prevention options early. HIV is not exclusive to any age, gender, sexuality, income, or location—Human Immunodeficiency Viruses can impact anyone.

For World AIDS Day, Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research (CANFAR) is asking AIDS Service Organizations to spread the word about what HIV really looks like. To see the person, not the stigma. Because people are more than their HIV status. Stay tuned for more about how HIV has changed in Canada.
