Thanks for sharing the reunion this week

By Linda Waggener

Kudos to Jenny Neat and Dallas Neat for sharing all the photos from their 2019 Rudolph Logan Neat Family Reunion! It looks like a good time was had by all.

In family gatherings, those who document the event are right up there in importance to the team as those who organize and announce it, cook the food and haul tables to bring a big event full circle.

Your pictures have helped ColumbiaMagazine.com readers (who aren't relatives) get to know everyone a little better.

Officials bolster efforts to end HIV threat

By Christina Dettman/Jordan Rowe

Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Department for Public Health, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), held a meeting this week to discuss HIV prevention, care and treatment in Kentucky.

Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America is an initiative to reduce new HIV infections in the U.S. to fewer than 3,000 per year by 2030. Reducing new infections to this level would mean HIV transmissions are rare and meet the definition of ending the epidemic.

Kentucky is among seven rural states to be included in the first phase of the nationwide action plan.
