The François-Xavier Bagnoud Center (FXB Center) began in 1987 as a clinical program that provided family-centered care for HIV, infectious diseases, and immunologic disorders. Early in the 1990s, the center received generous funding from Countess Albina du Boisrouvray’s FXB Foundation to enhance the local clinical program and to expand the center’s expertise to address the rapidly growing HIV pandemic. In recognition of this generous award, the center was named the François-Xavier Bagnoud Center.

The FXB Center works to achieve this mission through translation of findings to practice and policy, education, and research.
Our Vision
We seek to eliminate health disparities and promote optimal health in the communities we serve.
