Meet Our Staff
Megan, RN, BSN
Nurse Case Management
Duties: Nurse Case Management through the Part C program offers assistance with medication adherence, side effect management, nutritional services, specialty referrals (i.e. ophthalmology, dental, psychological), etc. as well as education regarding HIV and the disease process. I attend physician appointments and assist with referrals, follow up care, appointment reminders, etc. I spend a lot of time going through lab results in relation to medication adherence. I teach those I work with about their disease, medications, and offer support in whatever area is needed.
Tammi, BSW
Case Management
Duties: Case Management through the Part C program offers the assessment of client needs, especially focused on the most basic needs of food, shelter, etc. I make referrals to other agencies based on the individual needs of each client. I work closely with nurse case management to ensure the patient is receiving cost effective health care and support services.
Vanessa, MPH
Program Coordinator
Duties: A portion of my time is dedicated to working with the Part C Program as the program coordinator. It is my job to make sure the program is delivered effectively and within the requirements outlined by the funder (HRSA). I write the annual grant proposal and work closely with our staff and stakeholders to ensure we are providing care that is evidence-based and person-centered, as well as within the scope of the grant.
