Community Health Action of Staten Island (CHASI) is a cutting-edge not-for-profit community-based organization that drives dramatic improvements in the health of New Yorkers by providing person-centered services and bridging the gaps between people and the compassionate health care they deserve by providing outreach, education, prevention, direct support services, and advocacy (visit www.chasiny.org to learn more).

The HIV Care Coordination Program (CCR) addresses HIV healthcare disparities by facilitating access to care and other services through a client-centered, holistic, and comprehensive approach to meeting the needs of persons through team-based care management.

This is achieved through activities such as patient navigation, directly observed therapy, health education, and coordination with the medical team; the frequency of support is driven by the intensity of an individual’s need. The program is community-based and requires in-person activity. The program is comprised of 4 Navigators, 1 Coordinator, and 1 Data & Quality Specialist with oversight from the Director.
