Sidney Minnerly inducted into theLove Superhero Hall of Gratitude in October 2016 for her fearless efforts to integrate services across the HIV, STD and sexual health spectrum. As the Partner Services Coordinator for the Texas Department of State Health Services she works across the HIV and STD siloes and is a champion for harm reduction, syringe access, PrEP, nPEP, syphilis. Her skills and passion are renowned - she was called upon to participate in the Ebola response in Dallas and more recently to the HIV Molecular Surveillance activities. She does it all with a sense of humor and a smile. There is no doubt, Texas is healthier because of Sidney's work. 

About the Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude

“The plain fact is that the world does not need more successful people, but it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane.” David OrrI deeply admire those who "live well in their places." The ordinary and the unsung who offer to the world the very best parts of themselves without expectation. This is a beautiful expression of love in her calm, persistent, generous manner - offering a ripple of change (a metamorphosis) to the world. Inductees to the Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude are caped in recognition of their contributions to a love-filled world.
