The team was awarded Community Leadership Award was given by the CAEAR Coalition and were also recognized as a National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) Model Practice.

The Linkage to Care team works with newly diagnosed HIV+ clients and provides them with intensive, time-limited case management as they become linked to HIV primary care and other Ryan White services. LTC case managers also work with clients who have fallen out of care to help them reengage in medical care and achieve better health.
Congratulations to the Linkage to Care Team, and thank you for all your hard work!
