Mission/Vision
Sojourns Community Health Clinic
was founded as an innovative response to the need for
a change in how our culture views health and delivers
healthcare. Our mission is to inspire and model
possibility and change in healthcare.
The following explicit goals and
founding principles of Sojourns serve as the foundation
of our practice:
- To establish integrated multi-disciplinary practitioner
teams as the norm because they offer patients a depth
of perspective in diagnosis and treatment options
which greatly exceeds that of any single discipline
- To redefine clients' expectations of health and
wellness to include the sense of possibility inherent
in an understanding of their body's wisdom, and a
renewed belief in one's ability to actively participate
in and influence their own healing journey, through
education and practice
- To increase public demand for and accessibility
to holistic integrated care beginning with a grass
roots effort
We translate our mission into practice by:
- Partnering with our clients;
enabling us to recognize and respect them as
individuals, help them deepen their understanding
of their bodies, enrich their sense of possibility
and support them in re-attaining healthy balance
through conscious life-style choices
- Approaching each client
holistically, treating the person not the disease,
listening with empathy and compassion, recognizing
the wisdom and potential of the human body as
a means of unraveling symptoms and serving as
guides for our clients' journeys to health
- Recognizing that true health
implies a dynamic balance in every aspect of
ones' life; and that clients' relationships
to their environment, finances, families, work
and other surroundings are integrally related
to their overall well-being and create a context
for evaluating and addressing their current
state of health.
Sojourns seeks to empower
people with respect to their health and their
personal growth. We do this through education
and by involving each client in the process of
making choices for their own care. As practitioners
we are allies, resources and partners. As a clinic
we are a center for active healing, wellness support
and information exchange.
