OP EARLY INTERVENTION SVCS W/RESPECT TO HIV DISEASE - PROJECT ABSTRACT FY 2025 Part C EIS Greater Lawrence Family Health Center One Griffin Brook Drive, Suite 101 Methuen, MA 01844 Amy Bositis, Project Director Phone: 978-382-6856 amy.bositis@glfhc.org Website: www.glfhc.org Summary of Request: The Northeast Massachusetts HIV Project (NEMA) is a collaboration of two 330 community health centers serving the area northeast of Boston, Greater Lawrence Family Health Center and Lowell Community Health Center. A Part C-funded program since 1990, the project provides the clinical infrastructure to ensure access to a full range of clinically excellent, culturally competent HIV services for the residents of these traditionally underserved communities. The program has integrated the National HIV Strategy goals of decreasing new infections, increasing access to care while optimizing outcomes, and decreasing HIV-related disparities. We propose to continue to serve our current 800 patients, and an expected 80 additional patients over the next 3 years. Target Population: These urban health centers primarily serve inner city residents and share a similar patient profile of low income, marginalized immigrant populations. Both old mill cities, Lawrence has a population of 88, 1721, and Lowell 114,296. Lawrence and Lowell are disproportionately impacted by HIV and AIDS. The most recent HIV/AIDS prevalence data from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health2 (12/31/23) reveal that while the Massachusetts crude rate is 332.8 per 100,000, the rate in Lawrence is nearly twice that amount at 613.6. Lowell also well exceeds the state rate at 596.3. MDPH surveillance data also reveal that from 2019-2021 the numbers of new HIV/AIDS cases in the Northeast region was the second highest in the state. Lawrence ranked in the top 4 cities in the state with the highest average annual rate of HIV infection (2019-2021). The epidemic has also disproportionally affected immigrant and minority communities in these cities. Hispanics have 4 times the diagnosis rate compared with white non-Hispanic individuals and 41% of people with new diagnoses between 2019-2021 were born outside the US, with 53% of these identifying as Hispanic. Lowell also has a severely impacted sub-Saharan African population. HIV Services: The Lawrence and Lowell Health Centers have historically met the needs of marginalized immigrant residents, created programs to meet emerging public health issues, and generally worked to maximize access and minimize disparities. To support this end, we will use Part C-funds to support EIS, Medical case management, Outpatient/Ambulatory Health Services, Mental Health Care and Substance Abuse Outpatient Care. We are requesting $518,064 to provide these services for the service area of Lawrence and Lowell.
