RAIN Client Statistics

*As of January 2010

RAIN's HIV/AIDS Case Management program provides holistic care supporting spiritual, physical, mental, and social wellness. Social Workers work together to assist in meeting client needs.

Through Case Management RAIN sees to assist clients with health education, medication compliance, housing concerns, and other issues which ultimately give increased quality of life and great independence.

Peer Support: Clients receive monthly calls from another HIV positive person giving them another positive person to talk about experiences and concerns.

Social Events: Usually held six times each year and these occasions allow for "Food, Fun, and Fellowship" with other clients, volunteers, and staff.

Support Services: Clients receive support through home visits, calls, and notes from RAIN staff members. Likewise, short term one-on-one pastoral counseling is available to address personal, relational, and spiritual issues.

A five session small group which seeks to encourage, empower, and educate persons with HIV/AIDS to live a healthy lifestyle. The group's focus is the development of various coping skills needed in making decisions regarding all aspects of life.

A group that provides a safe, confidential arena for discussion, opportunities to fellowship with other men and women living with HIV/AIDS, and lifelong tools for coping with stress, self-esteem issues, and behavioral concerns.

RAIN, in partnership with First United Methodist Church and Rosedale Infectious Disease, will be opening a primary care medical clinic that will serve as a medical home to RAIN clients as well as other social services agencies, educational programs, and the general downtown community. The program model is a holistic one with focus on the medical, psychosocial, religious, dietary, and other needs of our patients.

Center City Health is expecting to have 4,500 visits within the first year of operation.
