Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
We are committed to the health and well-being of those affected by HIVAIDs, opportunistic disease, Hepatitis C, sexually transmitted infections and diseases. Our compassionate clinicians and staff are dedicated to improving adherence and health through individualized care and support services focusing on mind, body and medicine.
Our comprehensive care involves the expertise of many different healthcare professionals to manage the multiple physical and emotional health problems of a patient. Wellyfe removes obstacles to care through case management, support programs, such as Ryan White, housing, food and transportation assistance.
Attending physicians provide and coordinate clinic-based medical care with nurses and other specialized health care providers.
Our mental health and addiction team provide therapy to couples, groups and individuals to complement medical services in treating the whole patient.
Many clients face multiple challenges, including coping with the reactions of others, developing and adopting strategies for maintaining physical and emotional health, initiating changes in behavior to prevent transmission to others, and reducing the risk for acquiring additional STDs. Therefore, mental health counselors are an integral part of health care for infected persons.
Effective education helps prevent new diagnoses by providing people with information about how transmission occurs. In doing so, we equip individuals with the knowledge to protect themselves.
Our educators teach through individual and group sessions.
