Supportive Services

At Five Horizons Health Services, our Supportive Services help individuals and families affected by HIV access the care and stability they deserve. Through comprehensive case management, we provide housing and medication assistance, counseling, medical transportation, and specialized support for perinatal individuals navigating HIV through our HOPE Program. Our Behavioral Health services promote emotional wellness through therapy, education, and compassionate support.

Social Services

At Five Horizons Health Services, our HIV Case Management Services are designed to eliminate barriers to care for individuals living with HIV. Financial challenges, housing instability, transportation issues, and mental health concerns can all make it difficult to stay engaged in care. Our goal is to ensure clients remain consistent with medical appointments and medication, improving overall health and reducing the spread of HIV in our communities.

Perinatal HOPE Program

Five Horizons Health Services’ Perinatal HOPE Program provides specialized support for perinatal individuals navigating HIV during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Pregnancy can involve many factors that influence health outcomes, which is why our team of medical providers, social workers, behavioral health professionals, and other supportive services takes a coordinated, whole-person approach to care.


Through collaboration between medical providers, social workers, behavioral health professionals, and supportive services staff, we help ensure individuals receive the care and resources they need throughout pregnancy and after delivery. In partnership with the UAB Family Clinic, the HOPE Program supports early intervention and preventive care to reduce the risk of perinatal HIV transmission.


The HOPE Program’s integrated Healthcare, Outreach, and Prevention services for the Empowerment of perinatal individuals navigating HIV works to reduce stigma, promote healthy outcomes, and create supportive environments where individuals and families can thrive.
