TAMPA | CAN Community Health will hold A Patient’s Journey Oct. 13 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at the organization’s Tampa headquarters, a free summit for healthcare professionals to learn best practices and more.
The inaugural gathering will detail CAN’s “leading advancements in HIV/AIDS and sexual health care.” Organizers say it is designed to improve care for all individuals.
The summit will feature four sessions. The first is “Medical & Research: Advancing HIV Care, Together,” the second is “Prevention Services: Before the Test, Beyond the Test,” the third is “Clinic Operations: The Reason to Stay” and the fourth is “PrEP Services: PrEP is for EveryBODY.”
A Patient’s Journey is intended for individuals who directly engage, interact with and service HIV/AIDS patients or those seeking sexual healthcare services. This includes prevention team members, healthcare clinical staff members, outreach team members, medical students as well as HIV/AIDS specialists and advocates.
