Do you need to get linked?

Are you HIV+ and haven't seen your HIV doctor in a year or more? Or maybe you know someone who is HIV+ who hasn't seen their HIV doctor in a year or more? A new program at The Damien Center is here to help.

The Linkage to Care (L2C) Program is designed to reconnect HIV+ individuals with the care they need to get and stay healthy as they manage their disease. The program also targets newly diagnosed HIV+ individuals who need support as they navigate their new experience. The goal of L2C? We're working to eliminate barriers to care and support, get more HIV+ individuals into care, and reduce our community viral load as a result. The overall outcome is a healthier community!

L2C staff can help with:

• Gathering documents needed to get free or reduced-price insurance coverage. Need help getting your INET statement? A new state ID?
• Providing transportation to appointments
• Attending doctor's appointments with you
• Understanding your doctor's recommendations
• Childcare during appointments
• Understanding your medication and how to take it
• Reminder calls to take your medication
• Accessing community resources (food, housing, utility assistance, etc.)
• Understanding your HIV diagnosis

There is no cost for Linkage to Care services! If you are HIV+, you can automatically access all of our services. Please contact us today to get linked with the care you need.
