HIV Counseling and Continuity of Care
Vision and Approach
Damico Health is committed to empowering individuals living with HIV through compassionate counseling, comprehensive services, and seamless connections to vital resources. Our vision is to enhance the quality of life for our patients and ensure continuity of care. Once a positive diagnosis is confirmed, our trained counselors provide immediate emotional support, address concerns, and educate patients about HIV, its effects, transmission risks, and the importance of treatment adherence. Access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is prioritized, with regular follow-ups to monitor health status, manage side effects, and adjust treatment plans as needed. Additionally, we connect patients to support services, including mental health counseling, peer support groups, and partner and family counseling, to foster a comprehensive support network.
The importance of continuity of care cannot be overstated in the context of managing HIV. Continuity of care ensures that patients receive comprehensive and coordinated health services across various providers over time, which is critical for effective management of a chronic condition like HIV. At Damico Health, we prioritize integrated care coordination, working closely with other healthcare providers to create a seamless treatment experience for our patients. For individuals living with HIV, uninterrupted access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is crucial in maintaining viral suppression, reducing the risk of transmission, and preventing the progression to AIDS. By ensuring our patients have ongoing support and access to necessary medical services, we help them achieve better health outcomes and a higher quality of life. By continuously monitoring and evaluating our services, we strive to meet the evolving needs of our patients, ultimately empowering them to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
