Partners In Caring (PIC), a component of the Duke University Pastoral Services Department and the Duke University Medical Center (DUMC) Division of Infectious Diseases, partners with faith-based, community-based, and local government-supported agencies to provide substance abuse and HIV prevention programs.

PIC provides spiritual care in the Infectious Diseases Clinic at Duke; New Hanover Regional Medical Center; technical assistance for HIV programs; HIV/STD testing and counseling; and case management and housing services for clients residing in the Region VII area of North Carolina.

As PIC finds ways to care for people living with HIV/AIDS and addictions, we invite you to learn more about us by checking out our menu of programs.

Mission Statement

The mission of Partners In Caring is to find ways to care for, educate, and serve people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and others by offering innovative training, programming, and services to lessen the prevalence of HIV and substance abuse.

Partners In Caring fosters learning and training excellence by working with faith-based, community-based, and other interested organizations to create a safe, fulfilling, and enriching environment to improve the mind, body, and spirit of those who are served.
