These services are particularly targeted at vulnerable populations, including those with HIV/AIDS, women, and minority communities[1][3][4].

This is a substantial positive change in public health[1].
- **Contributing to Community Well-being**: GMHC's services extend beyond individual health to community well-being by advocating for fair and effective policies, supporting women's health, and addressing broader social determinants of health such as housing, employment, and food security[1][3][4].
