Pediatric and adolescent HIV program
Established in 1987, our HIV/AIDS Program cares for more children and adolescents than any other pediatric HIV service provider in the region.
Being a part of a free-standing pediatric hospital with many other specialty services at one location enables the program to provide a comprehensive approach to caring for HIV-impacted families. Working closely with other pediatric specialists, we work with other Children's Memorial specialty care services including Allergy, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology, Endocrinology, Dentistry, and more.
Special activities
Our health care team also coordinates various special activities for patients and families throughout the year, including:
-
"Caregiver Education Sessions" for parents and caregivers on topics of interest.
-
"Family Fun Days," which include an annual holiday party, picnics and holiday parties for our families to socialize with each other and staff outside of the clinic setting.
-
Special events for teens that include outings to professional baseball, football or soccer games.
-
The “Big Sibs” mentorship program, which matches our patients and medical students.
-
A quarterly newsletter to share information with parents and caregivers of children in the program.
