"The dream of The Center is to become not only a landmark for Mid-America,
but a benchmark for the Human race. The Center represents the growing
philosophy of keeping well, and not just curing sickness or treating
symptoms, but finding the cause behind the symptoms and eliminating
it." -- Olive White Garvey Reflections

The Center For The Improvement Of Human Functioning International,(The Bright Spot For Health), is located in Wichita, Kansas, at 3100 N. Hillside, on over 90 acres. Our location in the heart of the nation, ensures easy access by plane or car from anywhere in the country. Wichita's Mid-Continent International Airport serves all major airlines. Taxi, rental car, limousine, and hotel pick-up services are available from the airport.
Those with private aircraft may prefer Jabara Airport which is just 10 minutes from The Center. Wichita, at the crossroads of the USA, is very convenient to reach by car. Our parking lot is large enough to accommodate recreational vehicle stopovers.
When you come to The Center, you will enter Dome 1, the Marge Page Dome. It is named for the woman who was our first Patient/Co-Learner with rheumatoid arthritis. She did so well, that she and her husband contributed funds to make this dome possible. Inside, you are greeted with these words:
Some of the most wonderful people in the world pass through this dome.

When asked to reminisce about our first 29 years of functioning of this Center,
from 1975 to 2004, many thoughts came to mind. But a single concept recurred over and over again. That concept is embodied in one word: gratitude. Not just ordinary gratitude, but profound gratitude.
If I were to list all the reasons that I and The Center should be grateful, it would take more than the space available here. So I will just mention a few, leaving out so many who should be personally recognized.
First, there is profound gratitude for Olive White Garvey, for providing funding
to begin and sustain The Center during our early years. Those were years when enormous courage and fortitude were required by anyone who supported the notion that health and disease were linked to nutrient status. Those were years when believing that what we put into our bodies largely determined how sick or well we are was branded as pure quackery by most standard traditional authorities.
My feeling of profound gratitude extends to the hundreds of intelligent, discerning people who choose, individually or through corporations and foundations they influence, to contribute to support The Center's mission and work. They are providing the opportunity for us to seek answers that will lead to a decreased incidence and death rate from cancer and other degenerative diseases.
I have incalculable gratitude for the superb human beings who have been and are dedicated paid and volunteer staff. They are ever-changing and growing as they sustain our mission to help people who seek our approach
to better health.
Those wonderful people, usually referred to as patients — whom we call co-learners — deserve enormous gratitude. They have come from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and 46 foreign countries. Their awareness and appreciation of the benefits of our comprehensive Sherlock Holmes approach is essential to our capacity to be a world leader for a new emphasis in medicine — an emphasis we believe
will become standard practice in the 21st century.
Lastly, let me express my gratitude for the pioneer spirit that still exists here in Wichita, where new, nonstandard approaches can flourish if they are worthwhile.
