The CARE Center: Empowering the HIV Community for 40 Years!
At St. Mary Medical Center Long Beach, the CARE Center embodies its name, providing essential and comprehensive support for the HIV community throughout Los Angeles County. As a non-profit, hospital-based program, we address both the medical and social needs of those living with and impacted by HIV.
