Dear Southwest Center Community,
My name is Casey Simon (he/him), and I am the new Sr Director Healthcare Operations at the Southwest Center and oversee the Wellness Clinic. I am so excited to join this incredible agency. Over the last 15 years I have worked in nearly every aspect of healthcare with my focus being on Primary Care and Behavioral Health services. I am dedicated to the patient experience and ensuring that we deliver compassionate, competent, and appropriate healthcare.

It was clear to me right away that the Southwest Center lends a unique and much-needed service to the LGBTQ community. While I understand there have been many changes recently, I am happy to announce that we have some incredible Providers that have joined us permanently in the Wellness Clinic. Your patience over this last year is so appreciated and we are forever grateful you continue to trust us with your care. I would like to take a moment and introduce a few new members of your healthcare team.
Taylor Piontek (he/him), FNP-C, (below right) has joined the Southwest Center and will be seeing our patients for PrEP/PEP, HIV Care, HRT, and Primary Care needs. Chel’sea Ryan (she/her), MSW, LCSW, (below left) is our new Behavioral Health Manager & Clinical Supervisor and is overseeing our great team of dedicated Mental Health Clinicians.
We are so excited to meet you and look forward to partnering with you through your healthcare journey. If I can ever be of assistance, please feel free to reach out to me directly. Your feedback will be imperative as we continue to design our services to meet your needs.
Your partners in health,
Casey Simon, Taylor Piontek, and Chel'sea Ryan
