We are so excited to have the good people of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Mt. Lebanon, PA planning to visit us in the new year and so sorry we missed this visit from the traveling Wisemen.The wise men must've heard "Shepherd" and thought of old friends! The wise men stopped by the Shepherd Wellness Community located in Pittsburgh's Bloomfield neighborhood, which was founded in 1987 by Lynn Edwards, an Episcopal priest, to care for people living with HIV/AIDS. One of the central programs of the ministry is its Friday night Wellness Dinners, which provide emotional support and improve nutrition. In 2025, St. Paul's will be offering opportunities to cook and serve these meals at the SWC Center. If you'd like to help, watch our announcements and the Ways To Serve page on our website for dates and how to sign up. ... See MoreSee Less

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.
