CARE4ME SERVICES

 

In 2014, the Jackson Medical Mall Foundation established CARE4ME Services to improve the health outcomes of persons living with HIV and to serve as the bridge to prevent gaps in HIV educational and supportive services. All programs address identified needs within communities of color. Using a strength-based community wellness approach, the innovative programs focus on prevention, testing, awareness, linkage and re-engagement in care and essential services, reduction of stigma, and new cases of HIV and other STDs/STIs.
