Erie Family Health Centers’ Lending Hands for Life (LHL) program for people living with HIV/AIDS has reached its highest success rate in the history of the program, with 93.4 percent of patients achieving suppressed viral loads. By providing complete wraparound services, HIV primary care, medical and non-medical case management, PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), behavioral health, laboratory services, and nutrition, as well as legal and housing resources, people living with HIV and high-risk HIV-negative individuals gain access to critical care and services which stabilize their needs and promote better health outcomes. The health outcomes of the Erie program demonstrate great progress in lowering the risk of transmitting the disease and contribute to the overall success rate of the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois’s initiative, Getting to Zero. The Lending Hands for Life program is based at Erie Humboldt Park Health Center with a satellite clinic at the Erie Foster Avenue Health Center to provide patients in Chicago’s northern neighborhoods and nearby suburbs access to its HIV services. Erie’s staff is bilingual Spanish and the providers are certified through the American Academy of HIV Medicine.
