This month we wanted to spotlight one of our amazing case managers, Aaron Pace! Aaron has worked in multiple roles with Health Plus Indiana and has been an asset in all of them. Aaron works hard to create a sense of community for our clients and staff alike. To learn more about Aaron, read our profile below!
📆 How long have you been with the organization?
I have been with Health Plus Indiana since January 27, 2025.
🫂What do you enjoy most about working for HPI?
What I love most about working at Health Plus Indiana is the people. We work with real people who are facing real-life challenges, and we truly care about one another. When someone is going through a difficult time, we support each other and show up for one another. We feel like a family, and we treat the community like family too. Being able to make a difference in people’s lives is what I enjoy the most.
🏆What’s one accomplishment you’re proud of?
One accomplishment I’m especially proud of is receiving the Trailblazer Advocate Award at the Long-Term Survivor event. I’m also proud of organizing a community event in South Bend that brought people together and connected them with valuable resources. Those experiences have meant a lot to me.
✈️What are your hobbies or interests outside of work?
Outside of work, I enjoy getting plenty of rest, working out when I can, trying new foods, and shopping. One thing I’d really like to start doing is taking solo trips and exploring new places on my own.
🩸 What would you tell someone who was scared to come in and get tested?
I would tell them that it’s always better to know your status than to not know. Your overall health is important, and your sexual health is just as important. Not knowing can put both you and others at risk. Getting tested may feel scary at first, but once you do it, you’ll realize it’s not as difficult as you imagined. For generations, many people have avoided talking about or taking care of their sexual health, but that has to change. Get tested, know your status, and if needed, get on a preventive medication. Taking that first step is worth it, and it gives you peace of mind.
