Vivent Health

Vivent Health has been made aware that scammers are falsely representing themselves as members of our recruiting team. This process includes reaching out to potential “candidates” with job offer letters requesting personal information or other potential malicious activity. After receiving a response by the targeted candidate, the fraudulent representatives are prompting these individuals to provide bank account information in order to purchase equipment. Be suspicious and do not fall for any job scams.   Vivent Health will NEVER make an offer to a candidate without first going through an interviewing process which includes live interviews with our HR and hiring teams at Vivent Health. Do not respond to any messages requesting personal information and/or financial information. Never share your personal or financial information with suspicious actors. For more information on job scams or to report a scam attempt, please visit the FTC or contact the appropriate authority in your state.

A message from our President and CEO, Brandon Hill regarding the recent election: Elections in our country may happen regularly, but that doesn't mean their outcomes don't create unique and deeply held emotions. And I know this election especially has likely created a range of emotions for many of us. These emotions are valid, and there are no words to immediately relieve these feelings or concerns.  No matter who is President, which party controls the House and Senate, or who is in charge of our state legislatures, the mission of Vivent Health, to serve people impacted by HIV/AIDS, remains unchanged.  The legacy organizations that comprise Vivent Health started at the beginning of the HIV/ AIDS epidemic when governments and institutions turned their back on people who needed help; people who we still serve today. In response, we organized and cobbled together all the resources we could find and then helped our friends, our family members, and our communities. The product of this effort is the network of care and services we have collectively built to serve folks who need us most. And the folks we serve will need us now just as much as ever before.  As an organization serving our patients and clients across a number of diverse communities and states, we stand committed to meeting the needs of the people we care for - including people of color and members of the LGBTQ+ community- regardless of who is elected.  The people we serve need our support and care. Brandon Hill Vivent Health President and CEO

The week kicked off with a successful 30th Art Erotica, where we had over 450 attendees and raised $50K for the Paul Kirby Patient Assistance Fund! We are so grateful to the volunteers from Octopus Club for all of their hard work and dedication in putting this event together. Thank you also to all of the attendees, the artists who donated their work, and, as always, to our wonderful Austin team.

We are SO grateful to everyone who showed their support for Vivent Health by attending one of our Dining Out for Life (DOFL) events this year! What was your favorite restaurant this year? This fundraiser relies on the much-appreciated generosity of local restaurants and the appetites of diners and supporters! This year, we held DOFL in three cities: Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Louis. The funds raised at each are essential in our daily operations and ability to continue to provide care, supplies, and nutritious food to our patients. We look forward to dining out again next year!

Join us for Dining Out For Life on September 12 and a portion of your bill will be donated to help people in Milwaukee living with HIV get access to the quality healthcare, healthy food and social services they need to live their healthiest lives.
