Overseas Travel
The Travel and Immunizations Clinic primarily serves individuals who are planning travel to areas that have special health-related risks. Services include immunizations as required for certain foreign and domestic destinations, preventive treatment for travel to locations where there is risk of malaria or traveler's diarrhea, specific treatment for motion or altitude sickness, advice concerning additional preventive health measures while abroad, and sources of medical care at destinations.
Consultations include a review of both travel itineraries and medical history to assure that any vaccinations or medications used are necessary and safe. Internationally recognized Certificates of Vaccination are issued as needed for travel to countries that require proof of immunization for entry.
HIV/AIDS Treatment
The HIV/AIDS Clinic offers a multidisciplinary approach to treatment. Our staff includes a nationally recognized medical director, physicians, nurses, social workers, a nutritionist, and the availability of dental services. We provide a primary medical care approach to treatment. We participate in both multi-center and on-site research programs for patients who would like to participate in clinical trials (research). We offer mental health counseling, substance abuse counseling, HIV testing and counseling and support groups. Appointments are available five days each week at the Taubman Health Care Center.
