Pediatric AIDS Chicago (PAC) has ended its 18-year history as a fundraising entity for pediatric HIV/AIDS services in Chicago, dissolving as a nonprofit organization to concentrate on the direct-service organization Pediatric AIDS Chicago Prevention Initiative (PACPI). This transition is a result of the need for a centralized approach to ending mother-to-child HIV transmission, by combining forces in the fight against pediatric AIDS in Chicago.
PAC began in 1991 from a friendship between Debbi Klein, Lynne Weber, Susie Ortner and Elizabeth Glaser (co-founder of the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation).
