Nutrition
At the Southwest Center, we take a holistic approach to nutritional health. Explore the range of services our Nutrition Team provides below.
Nutrition Assessments
Southwest Center’s Nutrition Assessments include a one-on-one comprehensive nutritional assessment with a registered dietitian, body composition testing (BIA test), education on healthy food choices and recommendations for nutritional supplements through our on-site Vitamin & Herb Shop.
Vitamin & Herb Shop
Our on-site Vitamin and Herb Shop allows clients and community members to access high-quality, affordable vitamins, minerals, and supplements. Anyone, regardless of HIV status, is welcome! Please note that the Vitamin and Herb Shop is closed every day from 12pm - 1pm. For more information, call the shop at 602.595.8167.
Food Voucher Program
For people living with HIV, proper nutrition is a critical part of maintaining a healthy immune system. That's why the Southwest Center provides $50 food vouchers to HIV-positive clients who meet certain medical/nutritional needs.
