Quest Center for Integrative Health is a wellness-focused, nonprofit healthcare clinic striving to strengthen those diagnosed with chronic or life challenging illness. Quest is committed to treating everyone, including low-income, medically underserved people, many of whom are living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and behavioral health disorders. Quest, founded in Portland, Oregon, by Lusijah Marx in 1989, focuses on providing healthy meals, alternative therapies, and nutrition education.
As a multi-disciplinary, integrative care clinic, Quest combines traditional and holistic medical, mental health, substance abuse, and support services in a community-based. Through its programs and services, Quest assists clients to make and sustain lifestyle changes that support coping and healing from both mental and physical illness.
Quest Center’s Mission is: “to provide services, community, and education to low-income, at-risk people seeking a wellness-focused approach to living and dying. We work to assist our clients to sustain lifestyle changes that support healing, and to effectively strengthen those diagnosed with chronic or life-challenging illnesses.”
Quest Center’s Philosophy is based in the belief that people thrive when their physical, emotional, spiritual, and social needs are effectively met. Quest uses a community model, recognizing the important role that receiving and giving support to others can play, while honoring the diversity of each participant, pulling from a wide range of treatment options to heal the whole person.
