PURPOSE
The Ira Greene PACE Clinic (Partners in AIDS Care & Education) provides patients in all stages of HIV
infection with state-of-the-art primary care in a friendly and compassionate environment. The Clinic
stresses a holistic approach that includes a comprehensive range of on-site services, from clinical
treatment to nutrition and psychotherapy.
The PACE Clinic helps patients to cope with the real-life challenges of dealing with the disease through:
• Helping patients to successfully follow intricate medications regimens
• Providing women and their children access to medical care at the same doctor’s visit
• Ensuring appropriate medical treatment to prevent or delay the progression of diseases that result
from HIV infection
• Extending services to South County to enhance access
The PACE Clinic will use funds raised to help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS with a special prevention
and outreach effort in 2012. The PACE Clinic relies on government funding and grants that must be
used for critical client services, leaving little extra money for education. As an article in the San Jose
Mercury News recently pointed out, prevention and outreach are critical in Santa Clara County.

My fabulous Dr. Brooks...
All I can say would not be
enough. I never met a doctor
I really liked or trusted- until
I found Dr. Brooks. I feel safe
and cared for. I trust him, I
actually love him. I know he
does whatever is necessary
to keep me well. He is an
amazing man.
Patient, PACE Clinic
