Montgomery AIDS Outreach, Inc. (MAO) is a private, non-profit, Community Based AIDS Service Organization that was established in 1987. It has transitioned from a volunteer education and service organization to a full-time primary care facility. You can access both medical and social services at our Montgomery and Dothan locations, and all of the rural clinics we operate. We also provide HIV education and testing, and mental health counseling to patients and family members.

Our Mission Statement is “Montgomery AIDS Outreach provides community prevention education, quality services and compassionate care to those affected by HIV/ AIDS. Services provided include: social services, medical treatment, medication assistance, pharmacist consultations, mental health counseling, patient education, prevention education, HIV testing, food bank services and interpretation services (Spanish to English) and hearing impaired.

MAO is funded primarily through federal and state grants. The Ryan White CARE Act provides the greatest percentage of the budget. These funds support the medical and social services provided. State, federal and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provide funds for HIV prevention education and HIV testing/counseling. These funds are obtained through grant applications. Other funds are obtained through fundraisers conducted by the agency and through medical billing.

Confidentiality is of the utmost concern to everyone who works at MAO. Every person who works or volunteers at MAO and Copeland Care Clinic signs a confidentiality agreement. MAO is in compliance with all federal privacy and security regulations (HIPAA). Each new patient is asked to read and sign the agency’s Notice of Privacy Practices.
