HIV Prevention and Treatment Program

More About Our Services

• Our HIV/AIDS Services Team

  Our team includes experts in the field who care exclusively for children and adolescents at risk for and affected by HIV, such as:

  • Physicians
  • Nurses

  • Social workers
  • Medical case managers
  • Nutritionist
  • Patient navigators
  • Related providers

  We also have community members including caregivers and youth affected by HIV — and youth living without HIV — who support our program through peer navigation groups, community advisory board and parent advisory council.

• Family-Centered Care

  We recognize that HIV affects our whole community including children, adolescents, young adults and their families. To promote a network of support for patients and their families, the HIV Prevention and Treatment Program has continued to expand the scope of our clinical services and community outreach.

  Our approach to care combines inpatient and outpatient primary and specialty medical care, alongside social services for affected families. Assigned social workers and outreach staff work closely with families to anticipate and take care of their needs, from counseling to respite care.

  The HIV Prevention and Treatment Program strives to provide an atmosphere that respects the values, beliefs and needs of those we serve while advocating for prevention, education and comprehensive care. We work hard to accomplish our goals, and encourage you to contact us with any concerns, suggestions and questions.
