Friends of Sojourns
Our Vision
We believe excellent healthcare
is a right, not a privilege, and we are proud to act
as catalysts for healthcare reform by offering affordable,
accessible, integrated holistic care within our community.
We believe that high-quality, evidence-based holistic
care will become mainstream when it becomes more widely
available and as public demand for these services grows.
We are passionately excited about our work, and are
committed to building a sustainable, replicable model
for the delivery of client-centered healthcare based
on collaboration, integration, respect for the wisdom
and potential of the human body and our unwavering belief
in the possibility and expectation of change at all
levels.
Accessibility
Currently, many of the services
we provide are not available elsewhere and/or are not
covered by insurance. Many people simply do not have
the financial resources that allow them to make the
best health care decisions. We are committed to providing
services to those in need, regardless of their ability
to pay, and yet we recognize that results are best when
people invest in their care. We work closely with our
clients to accommodate financial constraints, recognizing
that one's financial state and security is often intrinsically
linked to our physical and emotional health.
Community & Individual Collaborations
We know that our long-term viability
depends on the support of the communities and individuals
we serve, (both geographical and philosophical), as
well as our ability to adapt to the changing needs of
our clientele. We strive to forge and strengthen bonds
with like-minded organizations, individuals and the
community at large.
As a non-profit, we are always looking
for innovative ways to balance Sojourns' financial security
with the needs of our clients and community. For example,
we have an extensive barter system that allows patients
to do community service, or provide service to the clinic
in exchange for the care they receive at Sojourns. We
are also actively involved in partnering with other
service organizations and providers within our community
to pool resources and identify opportunities.
You Can Help!
Sojourns has proven to be sustainable
during it's first three years of operation, but your
help is needed to assist us in achieving the next phases
of our mission. Your tax-deductible gift of any amount
is vitally important to our future and will allow you
the opportunity to participate in the future of this
exciting and innovative clinic, while helping us to
continue to provide high quality integrated care and
hope to those most in need. We are especially in need
of support in the following areas:
- General operating funds
- Pro-bono fund under-writing
- Practitioner training
- Facility Expansion
- Donation of services (design, printing, construction, etc.)
- Equipment (especially medical & computer)
- Support/ underwriting of our community educational programs
Please contact
us to explore opportunities for participation in
the evolution and success of Sojourns' vision for changing
health care from the ground up!
