12 week or 16-week workshop model which teaches health care self-management. most of us, if we re on an hmo model, see our doctors once every three months. we need to take care of ourselves the rest of the time. the shanti life offers a variety of support services for hepatitis c, hiv co-infection. it also makes it possible for us to reclaim some of the thing that have been lost on our journey. for instance, the reclaiming of our voices, self-respect, sense of worth and place in the world, security and knowing that we re not alone, and care navigation and volunteer matches for people when things get rough. the shanti project is celebrating 40 years of services to people in san francisco this year on the very simple premise that no one should ever have to face a life-threatening illness alone. thank you for your time and attention. next speaker. good afternoon. i m dr. jo anna [speaker not understood], i m the hiv medical director at the mission neighborhood health center
