Mission

Justus health (juh) was formed in 2018 by joining together minnesota aids project (map) and rainbow health initiative (rhi). This combination leverages map's expertise in providing a full range of prevention, education, advocacy, and support services for people at risk of or are affected by HIV, and rhi's innovative research and education programs. Juh broadens the original missions of map and rhi to work for equitable health care access and outcomes for people who experience injustice at the intersection of health status and identity. Juh centers individuals and communities at risk of and living with HIV or facing barriers to equitable health care access and outcomes because of their identity as gender, sexual and/or racial minorities. Juh provides health care coordination and access, including targeted direct services that respond to community health needs. Juh engages and empowers our communities to advocate together, and educate care providers, policy makers, and the broader public
