Big Bend Cares has been serving the Capital Region's HIV and AIDS patients for 40 years. Half of that time has been under the leadership of Rob Renzi who is retiring. Now there's a new executive director of Big Bend Cares.
That director is Amber Tynan. She led United Partners for Human Services for the past 7 years and was with Big Bend Eldercare Services before that. Her first priority in her new job?
"Making sure that the services we provide are in line with what's actually needed by our patients. Really listening to gaps in our services as well as some deficits that exist in our rural communities because we do serve an 8-county area."
At the same time, she wants to make sure the services provided don't duplicate anything else that's available in those communities through other organizations.
