Infectious Disease Compass Services (for people living with HIV / AIDS)

Compass Services is a special program offered exclusively at MetroHealth for people living with HIV/AIDS. The program is designed to support and guide people living with HIV/AIDS along the path to wellness.

MAP - Medication Adherence Project

MAP is a peer support program linking "Navigators" with "Pilots". Navigators are people who have been able to successfully manage HIV through the use of medications, supportive services and other resources. Pilots are people who are just beginning medical treatment for HIV. MAP is based on the concept that people living with HIV/AIDS are uniquely qualified to understand, encourage, and support each other. 

Newly Diagnosed Counseling

A licensed social worker provides illness adjustment counseling and education to patients who are newly diagnosed with HIV/AIDS on MetroHealth in-patient floors and clinics.

Quest Groups

Studies show that regular attendance at HIV support groups can improve the well-being and quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS. Quest Groups are education and support groups that address specific HIV/AIDS wellness-related topics or target special populations of people living with HIV/AIDS. Quest Groups are not exclusive to MetroHealth patients. All people living with HIV/AIDS are welcome.

Compass Services is made possible through the generosity of The DBJ Foundation.
