NOTICE
We are informing of an important change regarding Family Service Association of Bucks County’s (Family Service) HIV/AIDS Programs (HAP). After careful consideration, Family Service will be transitioning our HIV/AIDS services to Action Wellness and the Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC), two agencies that specialize in serving this population. This transition will occur on January 1, 2025.

 

While Family Service has been honored to serve the HIV/AIDS community for over four decades, we believe that transitioning these programs to Action Wellness and PHMC is in the best interest of our clients. Both organizations have a long-standing reputation for delivering exceptional care and services tailored to the unique needs of individuals living with HIV/AIDS. We are confident that they will continue to provide the compassionate, high-quality support that our clients deserve.

 

Our priority throughout this transition is to ensure continuity of care for all clients. We are working closely with Action Wellness and PHMC to ensure a seamless transition of services, and we communicated directly with our clients to keep them informed and supported during this process. Additionally, to further smooth the transition, clients will continue to be served out of our Langhorne office by our Medical Case Managers who will be employed by Action Wellness beginning January 1, 2025.

 

Anyone interested in receiving services should contact the Health Information Helpline number (215) 985-2437 and request Medical Case Management Services.

The HIV/AIDS Program offers a variety of services. We serve men, women, seniors, young adults and people of all cultural backgrounds regardless of income.

We believe that:

  1. Everyone should know their status.
  2. If HIV positive, the sooner you are connected to medical care, the better your chances of living a longer and healthier life.

We connect people to a range of needed services including medical care, mental health services, supportive services and groups. Medical care is especially important because it can help improve the quality of life for a person who is HIV positive.

Services

Medical Case Management

We offer Medical Case Management as a gateway service for those who have recently found out they are HIV positive as well as for those who have been living with the virus for years. We provide people with the tools needed to live as healthily and independently as possible with HIV. Services respect your privacy and are free of charge.

To connect with Medical Case Management services, call the Health Information Hotline at 215-985-2437. You will need to mention that you are interested in receiving services with Family Service Association of Bucks County. We will then receive your referral from the Hotline, and a Medical Case Manager will call you within 24 to 48 hours of that referral.

History

We were the first agency in Bucks County to offer case management services to people who were HIV positive or living with AIDS during the height of the epidemic in the 1980s. Since then, our program has grown and changed along with the needs of people living with HIV.
