We Believe

Dignity HMC helps people with HIV live full lives

Who We Are

Building a better Texas where People with HIV are Safe, Healthy, and Whole.

When we had the opportunity to rename our organization in 2023 we wanted to encompass the idea of living a life unencumbered by HIV. We continue to strive to answer the question; What is Dignity?

Dignity HMC (Formerly BCAR) began life in 1984 as the Big Country AIDS Support Group as a way to combat the HIV/AIDS pandemic of the late 70s and 80s.

In the 40 years since its inception, Dignity HMC has grown into an organization that provides medication, dental & medical services, housing, support, and a community to those living with HIV.

Our mission is to create an Abilene and area community that is free from the stigma of living with HIV/AIDS.

A Brighter Future — For HIV+ People in Abilene

A place to heal. A place to grow. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) considers HIV a chronic disease and not a terminal illness. At Dignity Health Management Center, we work with clients to help them live a good quality life with HIV medical, financial, and housing services.
