Mission Statement
To increase the accessibility of quality alternative healthcare for homeless and low-income people. We do this by:
Coordinating & developing direct service programs providing alternative healthcare options.
Providing information & support to practitioners, activists, members of the homeless & low-income communities, and others who share our mission of increasing access to alternative care.
Tracking and compiling research on the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of alternative health care advocates for appropriate healthcare public policy.
Our Philosphy
Access to quality healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and it should not be denied or limited because of economic status. Holistic healthcare practices such as acupuncture & oriental medicine, naturopathy, massage therapy, clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, midwifery, and homeopathy are important options in modern healthcare and should be available to all. Homeless and low-income people have the right to participate in the creation of public policies and programs that affect their access to healthcare.
