welcoming, supportive, and safe community that promotes healing and empowerment.
We are more than just a health center – we are a network of compassionate individuals dedicated to providing unique integrated health services. In the face of challenges like rising opioid-related incidents, lack of affordable housing, and threats to the rights of marginalized communities, we remain steadfast in our commitment to community-centered social justice infused health services. We identify as a culturally and linguistically specific organization serving the LBTQIA2S+ behavioral health center as well as an organization which partners with BIPOC Community based organizations providing integrative health and wellness services
