Large orange koi still swim in the pond in what used to be known as the healing garden at the former Whitman-Walker Clinic site in Arlington County. But the clinic's name on the side of the building has been painted over, and some of the only remnants of its former use are two white LabCorp boxes next to the entrance, empty except for a few manila slips that state "No specimens in box."
The clinic, which served the Northern Virginia HIV/AIDS community for more than a decade, closed this year because of financial constraints.
Two blocks down the road, at 5015 Lee Hwy., a clinic has opened to take its place, the sixth site of the Inova Juniper Program, which offers health care to people infected with HIV. The other clinics are in Springfield, Dumfries, Manassas, Mount Vernon and Reston.
