The NYC Health & Hospital Corporation, with 22 acute, long term and ambulatory care facilities, is the largest single health provider to both HIV/AIDS and TB patients in the City. With an average daily census of 900 HIV inpatient and @ 15,000 HIV discharges annually, HHC has been seeking to maximize its resources through internal and external collaboration. The Corporation has attempted to deliver a spectrum of service through linking Public Health Care providers with each other and with community based organizations (CBO's). This cooperative program is designed to maximize the resources available in each of the diverse communities the Public Hospitals serve. These linkages involve outstationing mental health at consumer peer organizations/CBO and linking them with primary care clinics at public hospitals as well as establishing outstationed primary care providers at CBO's and linking them with hospital and long term care facilities. Additional services such as home meal delivery for debilitated patients and housing referrals are also being developed.
