Grace Specialty Care (GSC), integral to Wayne State School of Medicine’s HIV/AIDS program, began in 1994 under Dr. Wasif Hafeez. If you’re in the Detroit area and searching “HIV clinic near me,” GSC is the premier clinic that ensures compassionate care for People Living with HIV (PLWH).
Recognizing the lack of an HIV specialist in Northwest Detroit, Dr. Hafeez’s dedication secured GSC as a Wayne State extension site in 1999, supported by Ryan White funding. Today, GSC serves over 600 PLWH, offering preventive services like PreP, nPEP, and condom distribution in Detroit’s Eligible Metropolitan Area (DEMA) regardless of insurance status.
Grace Specialty Care’s medical team, led by Dr. Wasif Hafeez, is dedicated to providing compassionate and inclusive care to People Living with HIV (PLWH). With expertise spanning various disciplines, including primary care, psychiatry, social work, and advocacy, the team ensures holistic support for each patient. Grounded in a person-centered approach, they empower individuals to navigate their healthcare journey with confidence and dignity, fostering a community of healing and resilience. Their commitment extends to ongoing education and community outreach, continuously improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
At Grace Specialty Care, our commitment to providing top-notch care and support services is backed by crucial funding from local, state, and federal sources. Here’s how we make it happen:
Detroit Health Department: They’re on board with us, contributing Ryan White Part A funding. This helps us care for and treat People Living with HIV (PLWH) who might be underinsured or without insurance.
Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS): They’ve got our back with Ryan White Part B funding, supporting Care Coordination for PLWH who need extra help. But that’s not all—MDHHS also pitches in with Part D for Women, Infant, Children, and Youth (WICY), and Part B for a housing demonstration project specifically designed for Women Living with HIV (WLWH).
U.S. Department of Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA): Direct funding from HRSA to WSU AHAP for RW Part C is a game-changer. It fuels our Early Intervention Services, ensuring transportation to and from medical visits, vouchers for meeting medical objectives, mental health services, support groups, and even a special supportive housing project for WLWH with children.
At Grace, we’ve got the backing to provide comprehensive care because we believe everyone deserves quality health services, no matter the circumstances. Our robust funding enables us to tackle health disparities and provide personalized care to our community.
