Sinclair’s Story
Sinclair found out he was HIV positive in 2004, just after the birth of his son. After being discharged from the hospital he went to Family Practice on the East side of Portland, where they referred him to Frannie Peabody Center. As soon as he met his case worker, Kristin Espey, he felt immediately at ease. Says Sinclair of Kristin, “Kristin is easy to talk to and knows what the client needs before they even have to ask.” Kristin helped Sinclair navigate the complexities of finding the necessary services in order to live a full life.
