For the Prevention, Care and Research of Infectious Disease Founded by the Cook County Bureau of Health Services and Rush University Medical Center, the Ruth M. Rothstein CORE Center (CORE Center) is a four story, 60,000 square foot facility that provides a comprehensive range of outpatient care to individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases. Programs range from screening and primary care, to legal and social services. The CORE Center spans the continuum from the latest treatments and research to prevention and education. The CORE Center receives funding through the HIV Treatment Modernization Act (previously known as Ryan White), the Cook County Bureau of Health Services and various research projects sponsored by federal and private funds. Approximately half of the CORE Center annual operating budget is supported by Cook County Government. Clinics at the CORE Center addressing the specific needs of HIV-infected individuals include those for men, women, children, expectant mothers, adolescents, Hispanic persons with limited English proficiency, and HIV+ people transitioning from Correctional Health care. The CORE Center also has an on-site Spanish Interpreter and access to a Language Line for interpretation of many other languages. Specialty services provided by our Infectious Disease and Hepatitis Clinics are open to residents of Cook County by physician referral. |
