We aim to address and eliminate health inequities for our communities by rooting our clinical practice in core foundational intersectional frameworks of anti-racism, self-determination, harm reduction, and reproductive and disability justice.

As a community clinic, we believe our communities are best served by and for us; that's why community outreach, engagement, and leadership development are central to our mission of community care and mutual aid.

Lastly, we commit to increasing access to culturally responsive care beyond our walls through provider training and education, and policy advocacy.
