Dr. Tony Brown served as Program Manager at the Wright Wellness Center, a community-based organization dedicated to providing culturally responsive HIV and STI prevention services to populations made vulnerable by structural inequities. In this role, Dr. Brown led the organization’s counseling, testing, and linkage-to-care programs, focusing on communities disproportionately impacted by HIV, including Black and Brown individuals, LGBTQ+ populations, and those facing housing instability or substance use challenges.

Dr. Brown was responsible for overseeing a multidisciplinary team of skilled outreach workers and program supervisors, ensuring the delivery of high-impact services rooted in equity and community engagement. Under his leadership, the Center implemented strategic HIV/STI testing initiatives designed to reach individuals in non-traditional settings and increase early diagnosis. He also coordinated the integration of comprehensive linkage-to-care services, connecting clients to medical treatment, behavioral health care, housing support, and substance use recovery programs.

A cornerstone of Dr. Brown’s work was creating supportive systems that addressed not just clinical needs, but also the social determinants of health. He ensured that programming was guided by real-time data, community feedback, and public health best practices. Through his vision and management, the Wright Wellness Center strengthened its capacity to deliver holistic, client-centered prevention services and significantly improved engagement and retention across its priority populations.
