This
twenty sixth-day of June, in the year two thousand three Fred
Flotho has been an advocate for persons living with HIV/AIDS since 1987. He has
served tirelessly on a number of local advisory committees including the San Bernardino
County AIDS Advisory Taskforce (1987-90), San Bernardino County CARE Consortium
(1990-95), San Bernardino County HIV Prevention Community Planning group (1991-current),
Riverside/San Bernardino CA Housing Committee (1993-current), and the Inland Empire
HIV Planning Council (1993-current). He has also been appointed to three committees
at the state level. These include the Ryan White CARE Act Title II Working Group
(1994-99), Community Planning Working Group (1994-2000) and the California HIV
Planning Group (1996-current). Mr. Flotho has served as a
leader as well as a contributing member. He has been appointed as co-chair of
the Inland Empire HIV Planning Council where he chairs the Membership Committee
and is Co-chair of the Planning and Evaluation Committee. Fred also serves as
a member of the council's Executive and ad hoc Food Services committees. This
level of involvement is not only time intensive, it is labor intensive. Fred has
been a regular contributor to all aspects of planning for the delivery of ambulatory/outpatient
medical care and support services which include case management, substance abuse
counseling and treatment, transportation, home health care, food services, mental
health counseling, dental care and housing assistance, to persons living with
HIV/AIDS. This gentleman has truly made a difference in planning,
implementation and evaluation of HID/AIDS-related services within San Bernardino
County and the state of California. His number of hours of community service is
only exceeded by the quality of his work and the depth of his concern for persons
living with HIV/AIDS. It is an honor to present this 2003 SBCMS Outstanding Citizen
Award to Fred W. Flotho.
