Please note: REACCH is unable to provide STI testing services at this time. We are sorry for this inconvenience. We will continue to provide free, rapid HIV testing during office hours (Mon-Fri, 8AM - 4PM). No appointment is needed.
The REACCH Program also provides comprehensive wrap-around services to support people living with HIV. The clinical and social service teams develop a holistic, individualized plan of care for each patient, which includes both medical and psychosocial support. Our goal is to help people stay on their medications in order to maintain optimal wellness, in addition to preventing HIV infections within the communities we serve.
Our dedicated social service team consists of licensed social workers, medical case managers, an enrollment specialist, and a licensed professional counselor.
