FY 2023 RWHAP Part C Capacity Development Program This proposal describes a framework to enhance HIV Care Innovation by addressing gaps in the diagnostic, linkage, and retention components of the local HIV care continuum. The framework will be used to link existing and future HIV patients with dental and behavioral health services, and to strengthen the HIV care continuum at PVHC. By involving the target population directly in the planning and development of this activity, we hope to form standard operating procedures for Ryan White patients that will improve patient access to quality medical, dental, and behavioral health care. We will accomplish this utilizing a modified approach to the CrescentCare HIV intervention strategy developed by NASTAD, and will monitor our performance in improving HIV core initiatives, patient diagnosis rates, treatment rates, and utilization of dental and behavioral health services. Project Vida is requesting a total of $149,869 in federal funding for this project. Since our service area extends into Hudspeth County, where we serve a rural population, we are requesting a rural area funding preference.
