The Peter Krueger Clinic (PKC) provides comprehensive outpatient care. As a patient at PKC, you work with a primary care team, which includes an HIV Specialist (a physician or physician assistant) and a registered nurse, who are actively involved in managing your care. Your primary provider serves as team leader and coordinates all routine medical care including exams, lab tests, medical imaging, and referrals to on-site specialty services such as gynecology, ophthalmology, dermatology, dentistry, and pain management. Your provider is also concerned about emotional and lifestyle factors—such as stress, diet, substance use, or high-risk sexual behavior—that may affect your health.
Hepatitis C
PKC is proud to introduce our new Hepatitis C program for patients co-infected
with HIV and Hepatitis C. Patients are now able to receive intensive Hepatitis
C education, care and treatment by a team of hepatitis specialists.
Nursing Care
Our compassionate nursing team consists of highly trained and experienced
professional registered nurses who provide triage, support, crisis intervention,
phlebotomy and other technical services, as well as extensive teaching
about individual treatment plans and sound personal health practices.
Mental Health
The Mental Health Program offers on-site mental health services to address
a wide range of issues experienced by people living with HIV. These services
include medication management, individual, couples and family psychotherapy
and professionally led support groups.
Nutrition
Registered nutritionists offer nutritional evaluations, counseling and
education, and conduct workshops on healthy eating.
Social Work/Case Management
Our masters-level social workers provide a wide range of social work and
case management services to meet the emotional and financial needs of
each patient. These services are part of a comprehensive package of services
for all patients. They include aiding the patient in navigating the entitlement
and benefits systems, mental health counseling, referrals, advocacy, and
assistance with obtaining legal aid.
Dental
Dental care is provided by a team consisting of a dentist, hygienist,
and dental assistant. Comprehensive dental services include diagnosis
and treatment, routine dental hygiene, cleanings, x-rays, fillings and
dentures. Referrals are made for oral surgery.
Treatment Adherence
HIV medications can save your life, but they can be hard to take. Being
informed about HIV and treatment options helps patients make healthy choices.
The health educators of the Treatment Adherence Program provide individual
and group support to help patients understand their treatment, manage
side effects, brainstorm adherence strategies, and communicate effectively
with their providers.
Complementary Services
To support adherence to medical treatment, we also offer acupuncture,
meditation and massage therapy to promote health and healing.
