I.D. Outreach Program

Hackensack University Medical Center offers a unique outreach program, funded by The Ryan White Grant, designed to treat and support individuals diagnosed with either HIV/AIDS who do not have health insurance. Our professionals work carefully to always ensure the utmost in privacy and confidentiality for each and every patient. People with this disease typically have many unmet needs and the I.D. Outreach Program is intended to help bridge these gaps. Through a team approach to care, we help patients in various aspects of their lives, addressing physical, psychological and emotional, financial and spiritual issues and needs. Our program also takes into account that when a person receives a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS, it impacts all members of the family. Our goal is to serve as a resource for both the patient and family.
