DO NOT SUPPORT THIS HEALTH CENTER!!!! MY HUSBAND WAS A PATIENT FOR YEARS THERE. HE WAS SEEN AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR FOR CHECKUPS. HIS LAST VISIT HE PRESENTED WHAT THE DOCTOR SAID COULD BE EARLY CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE. KNOWING HIS FAMILY HISTORY INCLUDED HEART FAILURE AND DISEASE. AS SOON AS THE DOCTOR MENTIONED THAT AS A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF HIS XHEST PAIN,SHORTNESS OF BREATHE AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, IIMMEDIATLY ASKED IF I SHOULD TAKE HIM TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM, THE DOCTOR NOT A NURSE SAID SPECIFICALLY THAT IT WASN'T THAT SEVERE, SO NO HOSPITAL VISIT WAS NEEDED. THEY DID BLOOD WORK BEFORE WE LEFT AND THEY HAD ME CALL HIS CARDIOLOGIST TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY SO I HAD MADE HIM ONE FOR EARLY THE NEXT MORNING. NOT EVEN 2 HOURS LATER HE WAS BRAIN DEAD FROM MASSIVE HEART ATTACKS AND PASSED AWAY 4 DAYS LATER. THEY HAD THE AUDACITY TO CALL ME TO CHECK ON HIM TWO DAYS LATER AND I INFORMED THEM OF HIS SITUATION AND THAT HE WASN'T GOING TO MAKE IT. THE ONLY RESPONSE I GOT FROM THE NURSE WAS WE'RE SORRY. NO APOLOGY FOR THEIR MASSIVE ERROR ON THEIR CONCLUSION OF WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH HIM THAT DAY AT THE OFFICE OR NOT EVEN AN APOLOGY FOR KILLING HIM OR ADMITTION TO THEIR RECKLESSNESS WITH MY HUSBANDS(MY KING FOR 20 YEARS) ILLNESS. MY HUSBAND SPECIFICALLY TOLD ME MULTIPLE TIMES THAT HE NEVER WANTED TO BE KEPT ALIVE BY A MACHINE SO I HONORED HIS WISH AND WE HAD HIM TAKEN OFF 5 DAYS AFTER HE WAS ADMITTED INTO PIEDMONT MEDICAL CENTER. SO IF YOU LOVE AND CHERISH YOUR FAMILIES DO NOT GO HERE!!‍♀️#BANDAFFINITYHEALTHCENTER

This is a wonderful organization made up of volunteers who willing support the local community with all aspects of HIV intervention. From free testing to an open pantry, they supply those is need with necessities they may otherwise not be able to afford. They also help the family members and those affected whether it be transportation support, medication or housing suppliments, or even Christmas presents. A truly "hands-on" organization that directly impacts the immediate needs of community members who might otherwise have nowhere else to turn.
