“Dianne Feinstein was a stalwart supporter of AIDS funding in the US and across the world,” said Michael Weinstein, founder, and president of AHF. “AIDS Healthcare Foundation had the honor of hosting her at our hospices at the height of the death and dying in the late eighties. In 1996, she said at the opening of Linn House that she hoped that hospice would be the last, and indeed it was. She will always be remembered as one of the elected officials who answered the call magnificently.”
