Program Information:

Our Ryan White Program funds providers of medical care case management psychosocial support substance use treatment dental food and housing services to people living with HIV. Our services are designed to support the holistic health of people living with HIV from early interventions to long term support through medical case management. People living with HIV are an aging population with complex socially determinant needs. We aim to bridge gaps in health disparities among people living with HIV and empower the community to live long healthy lives.
The longstanding goal of our federal Ryan White grants is to promote equitable access to medical care improve viral suppression stop the spread of HIV and ultimately end the HIV pandemic. HGAP works with several key performance measures in order to effectively engage in program evaluation and quality improvement to reach these goals. We collect and evaluate data not only from our programs but from statebased epidemiological surveillance systems and regional EHRs in order to assess the health of our Ryan White client population. From there we work on data reports and clinical quality improvement projects under the guidance of our decisionmaking body known as the Planning Council. The Council comprises longterm survivors of HIV healthcare providers and other community experts from a variety of backgrounds. They inform our funding allocations and guide us in contextualizing our data through their lived experiences. We work together to improve the care that our program provides and to support our clients through uncertain political and economic landscapes.

The ability to work in an effective respectful and culturally competent manner with providers community partners and the Planning Council is essential.

Complex systems of database integration can lead to data integrity and data management issues that keep the HGAP team busy.
