The Maternal–Child ID Program at the SPARK Center

The Maternal–Child ID Program follows pregnant, HIV-positive women throughout their pregnancy, and later their infants of up to two years of age. The program also provides primary care and subspecialty care/consult referrals to children and youth through 24 years of age. These patients are followed by an interdisciplinary team, including infectious disease and OB/GYN physicians, nursing staff, a clinical pharmacist (PharmD), a social worker, and a medical case manager, with the goal of providing wraparound care to improve health outcomes.

Patients are not only able to access their primary care needs in the comfort of the SPARK Center, but also receive additional social services assistance such as education, counseling, and referrals. In addition, the program hosts our onsite Food Pantry which provides fresh and frozen goods such as fruits, vegetables, shelf-stable foods, and meats to our low-income families.

Since starting a monthly clinic at SPARK, our patients have consistently shared their appreciation for the easier-access neighborhood location and, for some, the role the SPARK Center played in their formative years as a child affected by HIV.

The SPARK Center is committed to providing exceptional care to children and families through a client-centered, compassion-driven, and culturally sensitive approach. An investment in the SPARK Center goes directly toward improving service delivery for children and families with the greatest needs.
