Part D

The Part D program started in 1988 as the Pediatric AIDS Demonstration Projects. The projects originally served HIV-infected infants and children, infected pregnant women, and their families. They provided supportive care to families to help children with HIV receive medical care. Beginning in 1994, Congress funded the projects under Part D of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Act. In 1999, in response to the alarming growth of HIV-infected youth, the HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) funded a Youth Initiative, which currently supports 17 youth-specific programs across the Nation. In 2006, Congress funded Part D under Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006. The Part D program has improved access to a comprehensive system of health and social services for populations least able to cope with HIV/AIDS.

JCCSI received Part D funding in 1999 to fill the gap in HIV care by being the only one agency that assumes responsibility for the holistic care of infected women and their affected families. Part D services are designed to be comprehensive, community-based, culturally competent, and family-centered. JCCSI provides primary and specialty medical care, psychological services, logistical coordination and support, outreach, and case management. Part D employs family case managers and family advocates who serve to link families with needed care across service systems. The Part D Program works to assure that HIV positive women have access to medical therapies that reduce transmission of HIV to their newborn(s), as well as access to clinical trials that provide them state-of-the-art treatment. Part D further assures that HIV exposed, HIV positive children, and youth have access to available clinical trials.
