CARE Center

CARE is a non-profit, hospital-based HIV program that is directly funded by federal, state, and county grants along with private donations. It provides a full spectrum of services from treatment, support, and education for the newly diagnosed, to care for long-term survivors.

Caring Since 1986

Since we started in 1986, our program has become the gold standard, providing HIV specialty care and services to Los Angeles County residents who are infected and affected by HIV disease—regardless of their ability to pay. View our Fact Sheet for more information.
