Hill Park Medical Center was founded in 1987 to create a place where people could experience both alternative healing methods and conventional western medicine in a friendly and professional setting. Originally combining family practice with acupuncture, herbal medicine and bodywork, Hill Park Medical Center has grown and branched out as we’ve learned new skills and incorporated other practitioners.

Integrative medical care combines the best of conventional medical care with selected complementary and alternative therapies. We pay careful attention to mind, body, spirit, emotions, and environment to help each person to best meet their health challenges. We focus on the whole person and emphasize the use of the least harmful therapies first.

Our physicians are experienced family practice doctors trained in conventional medical treatments as well as alternative care. We often will send you for lab tests, order x-rays or scans and prescribe western medicine along with offering alternative treatments. Our acupuncturists and massage therapists are the best in their fields. By working as a team, we are able to provide our patients with the quality of care that we want for ourselves and our own families.

Today, conventional medicine is often practiced by grouping patients into disease categories. For instance, you might hear about "the appendix" in room 4, or the "hip replacement coming down from surgery." This loss of identity is the loss of the soul and removes the human component of healing. Formulas have been established for the treatment of each disease. Instead of asking what is unique and special about each person, protocols are used which often serve the needs of the insurance companies and the managed care industry rather than the patient.

New paradigms in medical care are keeping us on the cutting edge with saliva and urine tests that look at cellular function and can measure neurotransmitters, hormones and find precise ways to treat many conditions. In addition to our focus on the physical body—the tissues, the bones, the muscles, the organs—most of the treatment modalities at Hill Park Medical Center treat the energy field around each person. Whether you call it chi (qi) or life force, working with this energy field is an important part of any healing program. When all systems are flowing well the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing is more complete.

The Office Staff: Trish, Sophia, Linda, and Carrie

The phones are ringing, prescriptions need faxing, charts need to be copied, someone wants something from the Natural Remedy Store and two patients are checking out! Who are these women who can handle all these jobs as well as getting your room ready for your appointment and making sure you are comfortable and well cared for?

Each time you place a call to Hill Park Medical Center, come in to purchase a supplement or herb, or arrive for an appointment you will be greeted by one of the very special women behind the front desk. Our goal is for your healing journey to start right when you walk in the door!
