After 25 years, Baltimore's' oldest and largest non-profit organization that helps those infected with HIV/AIDS is closing its doors.The Health Education Resources Organization (HERO) posted a notice on its windows that said it was closing effective November 26th 2008, the day before Thanksgiving. HERO was a source of case management, housing services, drug abuse counseling and legal services, in addition to physical and mental health care. Many of their clients are or have been homeless.
The reason for the closing is unclear, as HERO did not return calls to WZJ news. HERO served an average of 3000 clients per year. Courtesy WZJ Television News.
