Adolescent & Young Adult Specialized Care Center

Under the leadership and extensive experience of Dr. Sharon Nachman and Dr. Allison Eliscu, the Pediatric/Adolescent HIV program provides comprehensive and integrated HIV and primary health care, medical case management and supportive services using a multidisciplinary team model. The program provides access to care for children and adolescents living with HIV and infants born to mothers living with HIV. The Divisions of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and Adolescent Medicine work together to form the Adolescent & Young Adult Specialized Care Center. All providers are committed to education, prevention and advocacy for families living with and affected by HIV. We care for patients ages 13 through 25 in youth-friendly medical clinics throughout Long Island where teens and young adults receive confidential medical services in an accessible, non-judgmental and caring environment, regardless of sexual expression or gender identity. Our multidisciplinary team of Pediatric Infectious Disease physicians, Adolescent Medicine physicians, social workers, case managers, behavioral health specialists and nutritionists, work collaboratively to provide comprehensive medical and mental health services for patients and their families.
