Early Intervention Medical Services for HIV/AIDS infected persons is of
the utmost importance. Not only to fight the HIV virus but also to
support the immune system. Persons do not die from the HIV virus; they
die from infections caused by an array of bacteria, other viruses or
fungal attacks on the immune system.
Matthew 25 believes in a holistic approach to the medical care that we
provide. We believe that care provided in a team approach that has the
patient at its center is the only way to treat this disease. We provide
comprehensive medical care including our Nurse Practitioner with a
Collaborative Infectious Disease Physician, Adherence Specialist,
Masters in Social Work, Case Management, Nutritional Support with Zack’s
Kitchen (food pantry), transportation, support groups and dental
services.
And all if this is provided all in one place. Our clients don’t even
have to go to another place to have their laboratory values drawn. We
know from experience that health care provided in this seamless approach
allows our clients to feel comfortable and not afraid to have to go one
more place to divulge their status, which often produces anxiety and
non-adherence.
We also know that handing a person a prescription does not mean that it
will be filled. With case management and a support services specialist
that is skilled in working with indigent drug programs we make sure that
the client has access to life saving medications.
Our Nurse Practitioner, Dennis Myers has received certification as an
HIV/AIDS Specialist and has 6 years of experience providing expert care.
Outcome measures of our clients exceed national standards with our
clients re-gaining immune function and reaching undetectable viral
loads.
Our clinical team travels to our Evansville and Owensboro locations to
put specialty HIV care a little closer to where you call home. |
