Description
Quest Center for Integrative Health, a nonprofit, community-based health center, was founded in 1989 as "Project Quest Integrative Health Center" by two friends: Lusijah Marx, RN, PMHNP, PsyD,and Lucas Harris. Originally a psychosocial support service provider for people living with HIV/AIDS, the "project" expanded over the decades, first to include all people affected by illnesses and chronic pain, and then in 2000 to include a medical/wellness component with a holistic focus.
Women of Wisdom or WOW is a community of sisterhood for HIV+ women, and the only one of it's kind in Oregon or SW Washington.
