Empower U Community Health Center is a nonprofit health organization based in Miami, Florida, with a history rooted in community-driven HIV care. Founded in 1999 by two HIV-positive African American women in Liberty City, the center began with street outreach to identify people at risk for HIV and connect them to care, expanding over time to include medical case management and confidential HIV testing, and eventually becoming a federally qualified health center that offers primary medical and HIV specialty services. Operating within the hospitals and health care sector, the center serves historically underserved minority communities by providing integrated testing, medical care, and support services designed to reduce HIV transmission and improve health outcomes. Its work focuses on increasing access to care and eliminating health disparities, leveraging partnerships and a resident-informed approach to strengthen trust and engagement with the local population. A recent development noted is its collaboration with Farm Share to extend healthcare access in the West Little River area of Miami. The organization serves a community with a strong emphasis on culturally aware, peer-based support delivered through a trained staff dedicated to health equity.
