The
Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act was enacted by
Congress in 1990, and reauthorized in 1996 and 2000. The CARE Act is a federal
program administered by the Division of Service Systems (DSS), HIV/AIDS Bureau
(HAB), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS). There are five parts or Titles under the
CARE Act. The Arizona Department of Health Services is responsible for the
administration of Title II of the Care Act. Title II is also responsible for
convening the Statewide Advisory Council and the development of the
Statewide Coordinated Statement of Need. To learn more about the CARE Act and
how the CARE Act Titles work visit http://hab.hrsa.gov/.
Title II of the CARE Act provides health care and support services for
individuals and families with HIV infection. Funds provide high quality,
community-based care for low income individuals and families with HIV disease.
Services in Arizona are administered through HIV CARE Consortia and direct
service contracts. Arizona has four Title II CARE regions; the Northern HIV/AIDS Forum may be contacted at the
Arizona Department of Health Services at (928) 779-3179, the Pima County HIV/AIDS CARE Consortium and the Southeastern HIV/AIDS CARE Consortia both facilitated by the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona, (520) 770-0800, and the Western Direct Services region administered by the Yuma County Health Department (928) 317-4580.Although services may vary from
region to region because they are based upon local need, some of the services
provided include, outpatient medical care, diagnostic testing, dental care,
home health care, mental health services, substance abuse services,
nutritional counseling and case management.
The Arizona AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is also
administered by the Arizona Department of Health Services under Title II of
the CARE Act.
