For four decades, Alder Health Services has been dedicated to improving the health and well-being of individuals living with HIV/AIDS and members of the LGBTQ+ community across South Central Pennsylvania. Our mission is to provide an inclusive, affirming environment that empowers every person we serve to lead a healthy and fulfilling life.
As we proudly celebrate 40 years of service, we honor our deep commitment to communities that have long been underserved by the traditional health care system. Through an integrated model of care, Alder Health provides affirming primary health services, medical case management, community support, on-site and mail-order pharmacy, and HIV/STD testing and treatment. We also operate a food pantry and clothing market and offer reproductive health and family planning programs—all focused on treating the whole person and supporting informed, equitable health decisions.
Today, we face growing challenges as anti-LGBTQ+ policies threaten to undermine the safety,
dignity, and well-being of our community. These policies have far-reaching effects—impacting
physical, mental, emotional, financial, and social health. At a time when federal laws are being
misused to discriminate in education, health care, and employment, Alder Health remains
steadfast in our mission: to build safety, community, and care for the powerless, the silenced, and the underserved. We are deeply committed to advancing social justice and health equity in every service we provide. However, to continue meeting these challenges and protecting the health of our community, we need your support.
Please join us for Rubies & Roses, our annual fundraising event in recognition of World AIDS
Day, on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at The Willows at Ashcombe Mansion in
Mechanicsburg. This year’s event is especially meaningful as we celebrate both Alder Health Services’ 40th Anniversary and the enduring spirit of Rubies & Roses as one milestone occasion.
Your participation and generosity will help ensure that Alder Health continues its vital
work—caring for, empowering, and uplifting our community well into the future!
