The mission of Wabash Valley PATH is to provide prevention and educational services to increase awareness and reduce the transmission of HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Infections.

PATH covers Region 8 of Indiana including Clay, Parke, Putnam, Sullivan, Vermillion, and Vigo counties.

PATH is guided by principles that epitomize effective nonprofit management and client-centered outcomes for people living with/affected by HIV/AIDS/STIs.  They include the following:

Service to people living with and at risk of  infection will always be our highest priority.  Services provided by PATH are designed to promote optimal independence, self-reliance, health, and well-being, in a manner that respects a diversity of cultures and identities, and that upholds the inherent dignity of every individual.

Transparency informs all aspects of operations and financial management of the organization.  As an agency providing services to all the residents of the Wabash Valley we strive to make accessible all allowable information about the organization, its programs and services, and its administration.

Accountability to the general public and to our specific constituents is a fundamental watchword of agency management.  We believe that every interested party – service consumers, funders, individual donors, and others – have the right to know how their dollars are spent, how their contributions are managed, how their input is utilized, and how services are implemented.

Efficiency is a natural consequence of accountability.  Contributors to our mission have the right to be assured that their contributions are being utilized efficiently.  PATH regularly reviews all costs and implements cost-saving measures that will not compromise core services.

Leadership and Innovation  As Indiana’s newest HIV/STD service organization, PATH has a responsibility to provide leadership and to implement innovative, research-driven approaches to HIV/AIDS/STI prevention.  Accordingly, PATH develops programming with widespread impact, and is viewed as an innovator of new ideas and strategies for combating HIV/STIs.
