Get To Know Us
Our History
Founded in 1990 as Phoenix Body Positive and later known as the Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS, Prisma Community Care was established by and for individuals living with and affected by HIV/AIDS, including their families and partners. The organization eventually began doing business as the Southwest Center before adopting its current name, Prisma Community Care, on January 1, 2025.
With 34 years of dedicated service, Prisma Community Care has evolved into a comprehensive health and wellness clinic located in the heart of downtown Phoenix. Today, we offer a wide range of services, including primary care, mental health services, HIV/STI testing and treatment, reproductive healthcare, and HIV prevention and management.
At Prisma Community Care, we are deeply committed to serving every member of our community, particularly those who have historically faced exclusion or discrimination in healthcare. Our clinic provides a safe, welcoming environment where you can always expect respectful and compassionate care from our dedicated staff.
