PCAF offers medical case management and client care coordination for people living with HIV in the South Sound region. Our case managers work with clients to increase access to medical care, prescription medications, and health insurance.  While these are our priorities, staff recognize that other factors also play a role in accessing resources, and because of this we offer referrals to many resources and programs outside of medical needs.

If you or someone you know would benefit from any of the services listed here, call the Tacoma office at (253) 383-2565 or the Olympia office at (360) 352-2375, or email  info@pcaf-wa.org for more information. All services are provided at no cost.
