The Hub’s purpose is to connect people to GMHC’s wide array of nationally recognized services that support the psychosocial and educational needs of adults aged 50 and older.
GMHC is also one of the nation’s leading organizations conducting research on long-term survivors and people aging with HIV, with its National Resource Center on HIV & Aging.In 2021, the Brenneis LTS Hub got a major boost when two generous donors, brothers David and Joshua Boger, committed to giving it $500,000 over a period of five years.
David Boger, a long-term survivor of HIV himself, donated the funds in honor of his late partner. Because of this, the program was officially renamed the Terry Brenneis and David Boger Hub for Long-Term Survivors (or the Brenneis-Boger LTS Hub for short).“My brother and I are thrilled to be able to provide GMHC with this new support to meet the growing needs of older adults and LTS,” said David Boger, a retired psychiatrist, when the donation was announced last year. “As a long-term survivor myself, I understand firsthand the challenges facing my community.
