The Hirsch Center for Integrative Medicine stands apart the moment you walk through the doors. It is a place where the relationship between clinician and patient begins at the threshold- for you are welcomed, not by a receptionist, nurse or assistant, but by your health care provider- and so begins your journey to better holistic health.

A Provider for Any Need

The health care practitioners at the Hirsch Center for Integrative Medicine (HCIM) provide care across all types of issues, patient ages, and health perspectives. They collectively have been trained in both conventional and natural medicine, integrating knowledge from a variety of healing modalities.

Primary care needs are met by Dr. Evan Hirsch, Dr. Louise Boxill and Anne Rhody, PA-C. Evan Hirsch, MD, the center’s founder, is Board Certified in Family Medicine and Integrative Holistic Medicine with additional trainings in Functional Medicine, and Medical Acupuncture.

Dr. Boxill, completed her training as both a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, a Nurse Practitioner and a Medical Acupuncturist. She is passionate about Women’s Health and uses her expertise to “serve, listen, teach and coach women and families to reach their highest health goals.”

Anne Rhody, PA-C, moved her family from Oklahoma to join the practice. She brings with her a wealth of knowledge to assist people in dealing with the toughest cases, like Autism, Fatigue, and Fibromyalgia using tools such as, IV therapy, Oxygen Therapy and Far Infrared Sauna. She was a bio-molecular chemist for seven years before pursing coursework in Applied Kinesiology and Craniosacral Therapy.

At HCIM primary care can be augmented with consultations from ancillary care providers. David Lerner, EAMP, MTCM, provides Functional Medicine expertise on cancer support, as well as digestive, hormonal, cardiovascular and autoimmune conditions. He helps patients create a whole-life wellness plan combining specialty lab testing, nutrition support and food-based supplements.

Working with Doug Walsh, MEd, NTP, brings patients to a new level of understanding about the role food plays in their health. As a nutritional therapist, he guides people to “transform their lives by transforming the way they eat.

She treats patients who have experienced many forms of brain trauma or discomfort including injuries, accidents, headaches and migraines. Robin is also an artist and is currently working on her second book. Her expressive artwork is hung along many of the walls at HCIM.

Patients are emotionally supported on their journey towards better living through the work of integrative health coach Stacy Hirsch, MES, ACC. Hirsch partners with clients on their path of self-discovery. Her clients are people learning to identify and manage stress in their lives; people recovering from autoimmune or chronic health conditions; and people who want to create more connection, more peace, and to live their lives with more vitality.

When talking about the mission of the HCIM team, Stacy says, “We want to give people permission to expect this kind of care. To say ‘I want more from my healthcare and to understand the role they play in making that happen..

Warmth with Every Touch

HCIM is situated in two buildings, joined by an outdoor courtyard. Across from the patient exam offices is the newest expansion of the center, Evolve Medical Spa. The spa was renovated in partnerships with local businesses and artisans, continuing HCIM’s belief in the power of community.

It is a place to find high quality supplements and environmental health products for enhancing heath and home. There is an oxygen therapy room, as well as a far infrared sauna that is open to both HCIM patients and the general public. As with many of the HCIM offerings, appointments can be scheduled online. The spa is also home for massage therapist Kenda Stewart, LMP. Stewart has extensive training in various massage techniques and her work often combines deep tissue, shiatsu, lymphatic drainage, and Swedish massage.

A Class for Every Community

The practitioners and staff of the Hirsch Center for Integrative Medicine believe in the power of community not only for patient support, but as it extends to the larger community as well. They sponsor outreach programs on evenings and weekends. Classes and group discussions are lead both by HCIM providers and other community leaders and educators. Recent events have included talks by Doula Diksha Berebitsky of Blissful Birth Initiations on Placenta Medicine, The Psychology of Color by the Red Door’s Lara Anderson, Nonviolent Communication by Liv Monroe and the Center’s Doug Walsh spoke about Food Allergies, Sensitivities and Intolerances.
