Doors open at 11am for beverages, light appetizers, and socializing. Support group at 11:30am. Brunch fit for a King or Queen!, served at 12:30pm.

Shepherd Wellness Community has updated its Covid 19 policies, procedures, mitigation efforts and safety protocols. These updates have been made based on current County, State, and Federal public health guidelines. Effective immediately we will no longer require proof of vaccination to attend SWC events.  We have simplified and revised our Covid 19 waiver which will continue to be required at in-person dinners and programs.

Masking will remain optional when the CDC lists community risk as low in Allegheny County. If community risk levels move to medium or higher we will once again require masking except when eating or drinking.

We STRONGLY ENCOURAGE Covid Vaccination and Boosters for anyone eligible for them.

When the community risk rate is listed as high as determined by the CDC we will require a NEGATIVE COVID rapid test, taken that day, to attend each in-person dinner/program. Please refer to our weekly newsletter/email or contact the SWC Office directly if you need to verify if testing is being required. To receive our emails please sign up on the front page of this website.

When testing is required you must either present your test result (or a photo), taken at home that day, when you check in. SWC will have tests available for you to take on arrival. Please plan accordingly – IF YOU REQUIRE TESTING AT SWC, you must arrive no later than 5:25 pm on Monday or Wednesday evenings, and no later than 6:45pm on Friday evenings. We have COVID-19 rapid tests for you to take home, please request them from a staff member if needed.

If you have a confirmed positive test after attending SWC, please contact us immediately: 412 683 4477 or office@swconline.org.

We will monitor COVID-19 and will update you if additional changes to our programs become necessary.

IF YOU DO NOT FEEL WELL, PLEASE DO NOT COME TO AN IN-PERSON DINNER OR PROGRAM.

Welcome to Shepherd Wellness Community

The Shepherd Wellness Community is the only HIV/AIDS community in western Pennsylvania. Since our founding in 1987  we have witnessed remarkable changes in the treatment of HIV and in the needs of our community.

Our founder, Fr. Lynn Edwards, said that in the 1980s our work focused on helping people die with dignity. In the 1990s, after protease inhibitor drugs became available, our mission was helping HIV-positive people live with dignity. Since 2013, our mission has been helping people living with HIV improve their wellness.

Despite the advances in medical treatment, the need for a supportive community to assist people living with HIV is greater than ever.

We are grateful to everyone through the years who has made the work of Shepherd Wellness Community possible. With your continued help, we will continue to provide a supportive, caring community with meals and wellness programs for people living with HIV.
