aadams@triadhealthproject.org

Adriana has spent more than 15 years in local nonprofit work and the last 6 years focused on advancing HIV advocacy, health equity, and social justice in Guilford County and across North Carolina. She believes the greatest threats to health are often not viruses, but the systems, stigma, and inequities that stand between people and the care they deserve—which is why THP’s mission resonates so deeply with her. As CEO of Triad Health Project, Adriana focuses on building unlikely partnerships, challenging the status quo, and creating innovative solutions that move communities closer to a future free from HIV. She most closely aligns with THP’s value of Justice, believing that real leadership means pairing radical care with the courage to change the systems that shape people’s lives.
