Liz Ramseur

Chief Operating Officer

I believe every person has the right to make decisions about their health. At ALFA we are able to provide the community with resources and information to help them take ownership of their health. Working at ALFA has given me the ability to learn from the community and work to fight the inequities we see when it comes to public health, sexual health and drug user health.
