Iris House

Iris House is a U.S. nonprofit community health organization focused on HIV/AIDS support, prevention, education, and advocacy, with a particular emphasis on women, families, and underserved populations. Founded in Harlem and later expanded into Central New Jersey, the organization provides practical family-centered services including case management, food and nutrition support, housing assistance, mental health counseling, support groups, HIV testing, and harm reduction. Its work has broadened beyond HIV to address related health disparities such as hepatitis C, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and depression. Iris House is not a drug developer or biotech company; rather, it is a health services and public health organization operating established community programs.
