Center for Life Clinic

The clinic was established in 1992 to assist individuals living with and/or at risk for HIV. We serve approximately 1,000 persons a year through the community clinic and daytime street rounds, strategies that allow us to identify patients living with HIV with no access to health care services. Currently, Center for Life serves over 30 towns and communities near the Hato Rey/San Juan area.
