Program Information

 

1. Feeding Program

This program is related to RUSH’s Home-Based Care (HBC) plan which provides medical care to persons living with HIV/AIDS who are unable to make hospital visits. While many patients benefit from government-subsidized antiretroviral drugs (ARVs), the efficacy of this treatment is greatly reduced if it is not supplemented with proper nutrition. For many of the group’s HIV-positive members, RUSH’s feeding program plays an important role in providing the additional nutrition required to support the therapy.

 

Opportunities

  • Help with preparing and serving of food
  • Establish a regular menu for the women
  • Teach beneficial dietary habits and advise on essential vitamins and nutrients
  • Assist with home-based care visits
  • Research and analyze the health and social effects of current programs
