Health & Wellness

The Kirk D. Baxter Wellness Center provides complementary alternative medicine (CAM), behavioral health, nutritional counseling and products from the vitamin shop.

We offer services which complement primary care in order to broaden the scope of care for each client. Naturopathic physicians provide acupuncture, vitamin and nutrient therapy, registered dieticians provide nutrition and dietary advice, and licensed behavioral health counselors provide emotional support through a variety of programs, including individual sessions and support groups.

Services for men and women include various support groups designed to meet the diverse needs of HIV-positive individuals. Some support groups are gender-specific, and there are sub groups under each category that address the needs of that particular group. Because so many different issues arise for those who are HIV-positive, the distinction of individual sub groups becomes more and more important. The following wellness services are currently offered at the Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS.

Child watch is available onsite for all clients utilizing services at the Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS.

In addition to providing services to a wide spectrum of clients, wellness programs will contribute to worldwide research through studies partnered with research institutions. For more information about our health and wellness services, contact us at (602) 307-5330.
