About Us

Our Mission
The Progressive Health Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to optimizing quality of healthcare through Integrative Medicine which includes non-traditional (eastern) and traditional (western) approaches to health and healing. Providing affordable services for the underserved and underinsured population.

Our Approach

Our team of experienced therapists works together in a collaborative environment to provide each client with the best possible care through the careful integration of our progressive therapies. Our goal is not to replace conventional medicine or treatments, but rather to enhance the overall continuum of care available, to empower individuals to be involved in managing their health care, and achieve a better quality of life. With our clients' consent, we maintain communication with their physicians and other specialists about their specific treatment plans and ongoing progress.

We also work in partnership with HealthONE's Swedish Medical Center and Craig Hospital, making our specialized services available to both patients and staff.
