FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- IMG Health Clinic, (IMG) a healthcare provider specializing in testing, treatment, and management of HIV, Hepatitis C, STDs, and PrEP, recently broadened its services to offer mental health care. According to the National Alliance of Mental Health, 1-in-5 Americans experience mental illness and almost 10% of Americans experience mental illness that negatively compromises daily activities and quality of life. Scientific evidence supports the impact of mental health on physical health.

This is evidenced by our nontraditional delivery of health services directly in communities of need. IMG empowers underserved communities to receive care and embrace healthier lifestyles". – Dr. Kishma Victor, President of IMG Health Clinic
Individual counseling, psychotherapy, medication management, case management, and life management are just some of the newly added services available to IMG's existing patient pool.
