The Native Care: HIV/AIDS Integrated Services Network is a collaborative effort between NNAAPC, the Ahalaya Project, and six Native American organizations. All network participants implement the Ahalaya Case Management model to provide culturally responsive HIV-case management services and HIV education to local Native American communities. A principal goal of the Network is to establish collaborative agreements with local service providers that ensure access to services by HIV infected Native Americans. Through this effort, the Network members coordinate and maximize access to medical, psychosocial, and practical support services to meet an individual client’s needs. The Network also provides access to Native-specific resources, such as Native American spirituality, traditional healing, and cultural awareness. Network sites offer cultural awareness training to service providers, and advocates for their clients. The Network projects are located in urban and reservation communities, including a program for Native Hawaiians in Hawai’i.
