C.A.R.E. Services
Health Care For All of Us
C.A.R.E. is one of the largest HIV Specialty providers in Los Angeles County, caring for over 1400 patients annually. Our services and programs are numerous. On the clinical side we offer state-of-the-art medical and dental care, clinical trials, psychiatry, and an on-site pharmacy.
For individuals to thrive with HIV it's important that the whole person is taken into consideration. To help newly diagnosed clients navigate the system we offer case management services, nutritional counseling in conjunction with our Family Food Bank, individual mental health counseling and support groups, an on-site housing office, and nurse case management for home-bound clients. We can also help individuals enroll in benefit programs to help pay for their medications.
Please visit our various C.A.R.E. Services pages for detailed information on each program and service.
