Infectious Disease Associates (IDA) was first established in July of 1989. The intention was to meet the growing need for primary healthcare required by the HIV-infected population in the area. The expansion of practice hours and hours by appointment provide a private, rather than clinic, atmosphere. This multifaceted program has responded to a community in need and has proven to be a significant benefit to the communities we serve.

IDA is the only hospital-based program of its kind in the region. We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS.

Our services include:

primary medical and specialty care for HIV patients
