Most Hopeful Place
John Carrico

Work, kids, traffic, laundry, bills … hard, right? Well, imagine handling all that while coping with HIV/AIDS, cancer, or hepatitis C. You end up with work, kids, traffic, laundry, really big bills, chronic pain, crushing fear, sterile doctors' offices, a sense of isolation. Now imagine a refuge – a lovely house surrounded by trees, filled with compassionate folks offering gentle, holistic therapies and a healthy dose of hope. From acupuncture to yoga, from prevention programs to long-term-survivor support groups, the Wright Wellness Center may not be what the doctor ordered, but it's the best house call in town.
