Individuals who seek care at the Impact Hub will receive integrated health screenings for General Health, Mental Health and Syndemic Comorbidities such as HIV.
Following the combined health screening, clients may be recommended and provided prevention services including STEP TN Harm Reduction, PrEP, Prevention Education and Condom Distribution.
Individuals who receive a positive diagnosis during the combined health screenings will be linked to a pipeline of care and wrap-around services:
All individuals, regardless of diagnosis, will have access to Cempa’s Primary Care Services at the Impact Hub including referrals to mental health counseling through licensed clinical social workers, women’s health, nutritional counseling, and more.
Any individual in need of ongoing care due to a diagnosis will work with Case Management Staff to coordinate a comprehensive continuum of care that includes social support services and appropriate medical treatment.
Any individual who received a positive diagnosis of HIV will be assigned a Medical Case Manager to assist with ongoing treatment and adherence to the continuum of care. Individuals diagnosed with HIV will be provided annual screenings, medication adherence counseling, mental health counseling, nutritional counseling, and additional supportive services, such as assistance with housing, food, transportation, dentistry, and more.
If a client is newly diagnosed with or has Chronic Hepatitis C, Cempa will provide individualized health plans to treat and monitor the HCV infection. Cempa’s providers follow CDC guidelines to perform a medical evaluation and regular checkups, screen for and provide Hepatitis A & B vaccinations, test for and assess risk for HIV transmission, and discuss preventative care.
Individuals will also have access to nutritional counseling to help reach health goals as part of the HCV treatment plan.
Any client who receives a positive STI diagnosis will be referred to treatment either through the Impact Hub clinic, the Health Department, or their Primary Care Physician.
