For over fifty years, Whitman-Walker has been part of the fabric of the local DC and national community. Founded to support the needs of the LGBTQ community, Whitman-Walker was a first responder and care-provider for those living with HIV. We are a leader in care and policy advocacy; a research center working to discover breakthroughs in HIV treatment and prevention science. Whitman-Walker envisions a society where all people are seen for who they are, treated with dignity and respect, and afforded equal opportunity to health and wellbeing.
Through care, advocacy, research, and education, the organization strives to ensure all persons can live healthily and love openly and to feel true equality and inclusion in all aspects of their lives. Whitman-Walker prioritizes the needs of community and has earned the trust of DC residents by remaining intentional in their outreach to engage and care for those we serve. At the core of the organization is a desire to create safe spaces where people are seen for who they are.
Today, Whitman-Walker is a collective of 501 (c)(3) organizations centered around delivering care to community. The organization is led by two CEOs – Naseema Shafi and Heather Aaron. Shafi leads Whitman-Walker Health and Aaron leads Whitman-Walker Health System which oversees Whitman-Walker Foundation, Whitman-Walker Institute and Whitman-Walker Real Property Holdings.
