Organization Details
As the dynamics of the epidemic changed (new drugs helped reduce mortality, but increased the number of patients living with severe debilitations), Maitri responded by doubling its capacity and extending care to non-hospice patients. In 1997, we relocated to a state-licensed, custom-designed facility, and Maitri’s board of directors received the Citibank Community Stewardship Award for their vision, foresight, and tenacity in seeing this project to completion.
In recent years, we’ve expanded our care to meet the needs of our community and begun serving people recovering from gender affirmation surgery.
As of 2020, we’re offering BRANCH Aftercare to help support former residents as they transition into independence. BRANCH Aftercare includes ongoing therapy, case management, and invitations to events at Maitri.
