Action Wellness

Overview

Action Wellness enhances the lives of individuals living with HIV and other chronic illnesses by providing trauma-informed social services that support physical, emotional, and economic well-being. In addition to general medical case management, Action Wellness operates the LEAP (Linkage and Engagement After Prison) Program — a reentry-focused initiative serving individuals diagnosed with Opioid Use Disorder who began medication-assisted treatment (MAT) while incarcerated in Philadelphia prisons. Through LEAP, Action Wellness provides post-release medical case management and care coordination to ensure continuity of treatment and recovery stabilization.

Who can use this

Individuals living with HIV or chronic medical conditions, justice-impacted individuals returning from Philadelphia prisons, and individuals diagnosed with Opioid Use Disorder who initiated MAT while incarcerated. Eligibility screening may apply depending on program enrollment.

What to bring

• Government-Issued ID
• Release Documentation (if applicable)
• Medical Documentation (if available)
• Insurance or Medicaid Card (if applicable)
• Medication Information

How to apply

Individuals can contact Action Wellness directly or be referred through correctional health services prior to release. Those enrolled in MAT during incarceration may be connected automatically through reentry planning. Others may contact the organization to inquire about eligibility for case management services.

Getting there

Action Wellness is located at 1216 Arch Street in Center City Philadelphia (19107). The office is accessible via Jefferson Station (Regional Rail), 13th Street Station (Market-Frankford Line), and Race–Vine Station (Broad Street Line). SEPTA Bus Routes 17, 33, and 48 operate along Market Street and Arch Street corridors. Public transit access is strong.

Childcare support

There is no publicly stated indication that on-site childcare is provided during case management appointments. Because services are appointment-based and may involve recurring healthcare coordination visits, individuals with childcare needs are encouraged to contact Action Wellness directly to confirm whether any scheduling flexibility or referrals are available.
