HIV/AIDS Services

Resource Center’s health campus provides critical assistance to people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.

The Harold Simmons Foundation Health Campus is the Center’s one-stop facility for services that help meet the needs of people living with HIV/AIDS. The health campus provides nutritious meals and food products distributed through a weekday hot meals program and food pantry. Case management works with clients to navigate the care and support systems available in North Texas.

HIV services provided by Resource Center include:

*Clients must meet the eligibility standards outlined in Client Intake. In order to establish eligibility for Resource Center HIV services, all potential clients must complete an intake session. For a detailed explanation of an intake session and a list of acceptable documentation for establishing eligibility, see Resources on this page.

HIV services are provided in accordance with the federal Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act to people with a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS who have income under 300% of the Federal Poverty Level, income under 400% of the Federal Poverty Level for the insurance assistance program and reside in the agency’s service area. 

Services are provided regardless of age, race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, national origin, disability, political affiliation, sexual orientation, or inability to pay. 

Weight loss and malnutrition continue to be common problems with HIV and can contribute to the disease’s progression. A healthy diet improves the quality of life, and good nutrition helps the body process the many medications taken by people with HIV. Good nutrition helps keep the immune system strong, enabling a person living with HIV to better fight the disease.

Food pantry services are available free of charge to Resource Center clients with a valid client I.D. card and current photo I.D. Clients must meet the eligibility standards outlined in Client Intake.

Food Pantry Hours and Location:

2701 Reagan St, Dallas, TX 75219
Monday 9 a.m.-6 p.m.
Tuesday-Thursday 9 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday CLOSED

Clients may shop at the pantry once each week, making their selections from the food available, within limits established for inventory control and fairness.

The Center’s food pantry was founded in 1983 out of a cardboard box at the corner of Cedar Springs Road and Throckmorton Street in front of the Crossroads Market. Today, the pantry serves more than 800 people living with HIV each week, providing fresh produce, canned goods, frozen foods and perishables.

Food is purchased from the North Texas Food Bank, as well as through generous donations from supermarkets, restaurants, caterers, community groups and individuals.

Hot Meals are available free of charge to Resource Center clients with a valid client I.D. card and current photo I.D. Clients must meet the eligibility standards outlined in Client Intake.

Case management at Resource Center helps people living with HIV navigate the care and support systems available in the North Texas Area. Case managers are specially trained to respond to the needs of people impacted by HIV/AIDS and help plan for long term financial, emotional and physical needs. They are advocates and guides to accessing important services, support, education and staying involved in healthcare.

Resource Center case management program could be especially helpful to people impacted by HIV/AIDS who:

  1. are in danger of losing their health insurance due to a job loss and the high cost of COBRA
  2. have trouble meeting the high copay costs of their HIV medications under their insurance plan
  3. have recently been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and need extra support to manage this challenge
  4. want support to begin and/or maintain medical treatment adherence
  5. need assistance in meeting the needs of daily living

Resource Center case managers will discuss the benefits of case management and how it can assist long term efforts to participate in health care, offer support as clients and family members adjust to the HIV diagnosis, and help link clients to future needed services such as legal and counseling services, job retraining, Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare / Medicare Part D, and many other community resources.

In a face-to-face meeting, a case manager will assess the client’s needs, develop and implement a care plan, and refer the client to appropriate services. Individual progress is regularly reviewed. Case managers normally work by appointment. Applicants will need the following documents at their first appointment: proof of HIV/AIDS diagnosis, proof of residence, proof of income, and a picture ID.

Health insurance is important to maintaining your overall health. If you are eligible for Ryan White funded services, we can help you keep the insurance you already have.

The Ryan White Insurance Assistance Program provides financial assistance for people with HIV to keep their private insurance for the maximum time period possible. This program assists with insurance premiums and COBRA premiums.
