Dining Out For Life (DOFL) was created in 1991 and takes place in over 65 cities raising over $4.5 million annually for HIV support, health, and wellness. For the first time, Positively Living is bringing the event to Knoxville on Thursday, June 27, 2024. Every dollar we raise stays local and goes to support those living with HIV and prevention programs aimed at ending the HIV epidemic. Dine, drink and make a difference! See participating establishments below.
Our Mission: To empower, promote and inspire wellness in Tennessee.
Our Vision: A future of health, equity and hope.
Our History: Positively Living, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 1996 to assist in the care of those living with HIV and AIDS.
The Expansion: In 2018 we launched Choice Health Network to serve more people, in more impactful ways. Positively Living & Choice Health Network currently has offices in Knoxville, Chattanooga, Memphis and Upper Cumberland.
The Impact: Today we serve thousands of individuals and families struggling to survive the challenges created by HIV/AIDS, mental illness, addiction, homelessness and LGBTQ+ discrimination. Our programmatic pillars are:
1. Medical Clinic that provides testing, treatment, HIV-prevention (PrEP and PEP) and a full-service pharmacy;
2. Client Services that include therapy and mental health care, along with emergency food, transportation and housing aid;
3. Harm Reduction program that offers a syringe services exchange, naloxone, gender-affirming supportive services, resources and referrals to recovery for our neighbors who use substances.
We are proud to be East Tennessee’s premier public health nonprofit, providing a one-stop shop for inclusive, nonjudgmental care. We believe a city is better when all its citizens are healthy, active contributors.
