Nervous about getting blood drawn for an HIV/STI test because your veins are hard to locate? Check out our vein scanner - it projects a map onto your skin that helps guide blood draws for less pokes, less pain and less guesswork.
Our team is trauma informed and will talk you through as much (or as little) of the process as you want.

Come see us at the SIU Student Center until 4pm today and see it for yourself! We take walk in testing appointments during the week at our clinic from 1:30-4:30pm Tuesday through Friday (holidays affect these hours).

We are located at 120 N Illinois Ave Carbondale IL, one block north of Thai Taste, across from the Carbondale Pavilion.

✨ New Partnership Announcement ✨
Beyond the Walls: The Movement, NFP x Rainbow Community Health & Wellness (RCHW).

We are proud to announce our new partnership with Rainbow Community Health & Wellness — an organization grounded in person-centered, community-focused care for Southern Illinois. Together, we are committed to providing inclusive and healing-beyond-harm support for women rebuilding their lives.

At the Daffodil House, this partnership already means real, tangible resources:
🧘🏽‍♀️ Yoga mats to support grounding, movement, and daily wellness
🩺 Contraceptive options to ensure informed, dignified health choices
🗓️ Scheduled therapy + supportive services focused on safety, healing, and self-determination

This is what removing barriers looks like. This is community care in action.
This is how we build pathways to freedom — together.

Southern Illinois, we’re here to serve you. Healing beyond harm starts at home.

🧠 Studies show that transgender people who have affirming mental health providers experience lower rates of depression and anxiety — and greater overall well-being.

✨ You deserve care that affirms every part of who you are.
