Dr. Tony Brown served as a program coordinator and evaluator for the South Carolina Department of Health, where he was instrumental in assessing the effectiveness of statewide HIV prevention initiatives. His work centered on evaluating HIV testing, counseling, linkage-to-care programs, and behavioral interventions implemented by a diverse network of subrecipients, including community-based organizations and clinical providers.

In this role, Dr. Brown maintained ongoing communication with subrecipients, providing strategic technical assistance to help optimize program performance. He supported organizations in strengthening data collection practices, refining service delivery models, and applying evaluation findings to enhance program outcomes. His approach emphasized collaboration, capacity building, and data-driven decision-making.

Dr. Brown led efforts to evaluate both the process and outcomes of HIV interventions, focusing on key indicators such as testing uptake, client engagement, behavioral risk reduction, and successful linkage to care. He developed and delivered tools, training, and guidance to ensure that subrecipients were equipped to monitor and improve program quality. Through his leadership, public health partners across South Carolina were able to better measure their impact, improve client services, and align with evidence-based practices to advance health equity in HIV prevention and care.
