Quest Center for Integrative Health

Mission

Our mission at Quest Center for Integrative Health (Quest) is to provide integrative healthcare services, education and inclusive community support to people seeking a wellness-focused approach to fully living.  

Quest was founded in 1989 as a psychosocial support service provider for people living with HIV/AIDS. Today, we continue this mission to meet the needs of all people seeking increased physical, mental, and emotional health through our programs in HIV Services, Substance Use Recovery, Chronic Pain management, mental health and holistic medical services. We are committed to serving the LGBTQIA2S+ community and understand our community members have intersecting identities that shape how they interact with the healthcare system.

Bottom Line for Portland

We are thrilled to celebrate the Kickoff of 2024’s Give!Guide with a significant expansion in our Transitional Housing program: the opening of The Woodstock Recovery House. This new initiative represents a crucial step forward in our focus to provide safe, intimate, and affordable housing specifically tailored to support Black and African American individuals in their journey to recovery. Your contributions are crucial to the success of this new initiative, and we warmly welcome you to join us in making a difference. 

Quote

“(The Quest Center Recovery House) was the very first place that I felt fully safe to be myself and also get to know myself." - Darnell, former Quest Center Client and Current Housing Case Manager

“I went to my hairdresser that I've been going to for well over 30 years and my entire demeanor had changed- I'd become totally positive. She said ‘what happened to you?’ and instantly I said ‘Quest!’" - Vic, Quest Center Client

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Quest continually seeks out Diversity, Equity, Inclusion training opportunities to advance our cultural fluency in every aspect of our work. This allows staff to effectively serve our diverse community members and address their individual needs, especially for marginalized individuals from the LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities who have had negative experiences with the healthcare system. We continually work on establishing meaningful collaborations with community partners that are in alignment with DEI values, such as our partnerships as part of the Behavioral Health Resource network (BHRN), Indigeninity. These partnerships are intended to build capacity within the communities we serve to identify and eliminate health disparities related to chronic disease, with a focus on social determinants of health
