Summary: Cook County HIV Integrated Programs (CCHIP) utilizes CDPH Part A funding to expand comprehensive, community-based services across its sites: Austin Health Center, Provident Hospital, Ruth M. Rothstein CORE Center, and South Suburban HIV/AIDS Regional Clinics (SSHARC). These funds support key service categories, including Ambulatory Outpatient Care, Mental Health, Outpatient Substance Use, Oral Health, Early Intervention Services, Outreach, and Psychosocial Support Services.
With this investment, CCHIP has strengthened its integrated care model, ensuring improved access to primary care, behavioral health, substance use treatment, and support services for people living with or at risk for HIV. By leveraging resources across these sites, CCHIP aims to reduce health disparities, improve viral suppression rates, and address social determinants of health that impact patient outcomes.
Funding is allocated to staffing, outreach, and innovative care models that enhance service delivery for vulnerable populations, particularly Black, Latinx, and LGBTQ+ communities disproportionately affected by HIV. This investment reinforces CCHIP’s commitment to equitable, high-quality healthcare and aligns with CDPH’s Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) strategy in Chicago.
