The AIDS Care Group is a non-profit organization that provides medical care, dental care, and social services to uninsured and underinsured residents of Chester and Sharon Hill, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The AIDS Care Group is the largest and most comprehensive HIV/AIDS service provider in the county.

The AIDS Care Group was incorporated in 1998 in order to serve the needs of an outcast group of people in Chester, PA who were unable to access care and social services for their HIV disease. In approaching HIV medicine, the agency staff took the view that the underlying conditions of poverty, low educational attainment, poor housing, high crime rate, lack of adequate transportation, food insecurities, and disenfranchisement all had to be addressed as a basic prescription for the care of each patient. It is from this philosophy that the AIDS Care Group established food, housing, transportation, care outreach, and therapy programs as essential services required to achieve success with HIV medical and dental care.

Among its many activities, AIDS Care Group publishes a blog on healthcare reform and AIDS Service Organizations: http://aidscaregroup.org/aso-blog/
