How We Can Help You

Learn about the services our specially educated caregivers can offer you

Do you speak Spanish?

We offer Spanish interpretation for patients who do not speak English or feel more comfortable speaking with their caregivers in Spanish. In fact, half of our staff members, including a physician, speak both English and Spanish. When making an appointment, ask for an interpreter.

At the AIDS Activities Office, we offer medical care, including medications, and support for you and your family. We work hard to resolve your concerns and problems so that you can concentrate on taking care of yourself.

We are specially educated to care for people with HIV/AIDS, and get to know each of our patients personally. We ensure you get the most comprehensive care to improve your overall quality of life.
