Started 1989, by the North Indiana Conference of the United Methodist Church
Founding and course: When the AIDS epidemic reached northern Indiana, the organized response here was a church's: AIDS Ministries was started in 1989 by the North Indiana Conference of the United Methodist Church — the founding as Saint Mary's College's published directory of health-related service organizations records it — and grew toward the ecumenical, community base its later name reflects, AIDS Ministries / AIDS Assist of Northern Indiana. From South Bend, at 201 South William Street, it has served north central Indiana with direct assistance and northern Indiana with education and referral. Its middle course is not documented in the sources reached for this account at the depth of its founding, and the entry prints at its documented size: a 1989 founding, an address, a region, and a continuing presence in the current directories.
