In January 2005, ordinary citizens gathered to create something extraordinary. From nearly one hundred pages of written testimony, a mosaic of powerful images, our community clinic was born—health care of, by, and for the people.
Welcome to a place
a sanctuary, a safe place
a place of wisdom
where we can learn to live harmlessly
listen with empathy
observe without judgement
a place where a revolution starts
a new way of seeing
where we rediscover our priorities
Meet a doctor who is happy
A doctor with a big heart
and a great love for people and service
a doctor who inspires me
and rewards healthy lifestyle
someone whose presence itself is enough to cheer a patient,
a doctor who hugs me!
who educates and empowers
and helps patients come to terms with fears
anger. . . pain. . . rejection. . .
a doctor who answers the phone, says come right over
and is waiting for me when I arrive
Welcome home to a place
where nobody is turned away for lack of money
a place where you feel heard,
understood, cared for,
warm, nurtured,
loved and important. . .
WELCOME HOME
