Our History

Our late founder, Dr. Linda Haltinner, envisioned a sojourner as one who is at home wherever he or she is in the world. We believe this to be at the core of wellness – an understanding of oneself that is not dependent upon external factors, but that is sourced internally through physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance.

Sojourns Community Health Clinic was founded in 2000 as a nonprofit clinic offering a broader and deeper understanding of what it means to be well.

We see people as whole, and we inspire a model for change for the delivery of healthcare.

Linda inspired everyone around her to believe that internal balance was not only achievable, but that it could be accessible to all. For over 20 years, Sojourns has boasted a talented array of professionals who carry this vision forward by starting every encounter with a vision of each patient as whole and well.

Our commitment to health access, regardless of socioeconomic status, is why we take time to listen to patients and collaborate across disciplines (primary care, naturopathic care, physical therapy, chiropractic, and acupuncture); educate colleagues and patients in complementary approaches to wellness; and reach a broader array of patients by working with insurance companies.

These priorities, among others, form a model of healthcare that can lead to real transformation for the 4,000 patients we see annually.
