This statewide provider network is supported on a contractual basis by CHCACT for medical care, family-centered case management services and outreach. CHCACT fulfills its role in the administration, coordination, program development and reporting functions of CYFAN through day-to-day management of subcontracts with 7 community health centers. The seven community health centers that participate in CYFAN all administer comprehensive culturally competent HIV/AIDS outreach services that are driven by case finding and appropriate linkages to care for women, adolescents, youth between the ages of 13-24 and infants.
