Carl Bean House

Carl Bean House is a specialized healthcare facility located in Los Angeles, California, dedicated to providing residential and hospice care for individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Established in 1992 by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) in collaboration with Archbishop Carl Bean, it was the first AIDS hospice in the United States specifically designed to serve the needs of the African American community and other people of color. The facility provides 24-hour skilled nursing care and support services, though its operational focus has shifted over decades in response to advancements in HIV medical treatment. It remains a significant symbol of community-based healthcare and advocacy within the global fight against the AIDS epidemic.
