Our Services and Programs
Pediatric HIV Program
Our Pediatric HIV Program, designated by New York State as a Pediatric HIV/AIDS Center, is dedicated to providing high quality, comprehensive, multi-disciplinary care to children living with HIV and their families.
Our team includes doctors, a nurse practitioner, a research nurse, a social worker, and a community outreach worker.
Highlights of our medical care program include:
-
Collaboration with specialists in child psychology, nutrition, and pediatric dentistry to provide a wide range of services.
-
Case management services for children living with HIV infection.
-
Collaboration with specialists in obstetrics and internal medicine to care for HIV-infected pregnant women and help reduce transmission of HIV from mother to child
The Pediatric HIV Program is actively involved in medical research to find
better means of treating and preventing HIV infection and related infections.
We offer the most modern, state-of-the-art therapies for HIV-infected children
and pregnant women through our work with the National Institutes of Health.
In addition to medical care and research, we provide a variety of family
and child-centered assistance, including emergency funds for shelter, food,
transportation, and household necessities for HIV-infected children and
families.
