LAAN case managers provide initial and ongoing client needs assessment. They are involved with the development, implementation, and evaluation of health and support service plans; and are also responsible for locating, coordinating, and monitoring cost-effective, timely delivery of quality services. Case managers also act as advocates for clients. They serve as a central point of access for the needs of people living with HIV/AIDS in this region.
The Lansing Area AIDS Network (LAAN) provides a variety of services to persons living with HIV/AIDS in the greater Lansing area. All LAAN services are free.
