About Karma Clinic

Our current healthcare system is in shambles, the reform really doesn't address the root cause. Even with the at-best option for single payer, the healthcare system would not address the problem of disconnectedness that people so commonly feel from their practitioners. It would not address the fact that the whole system revolves around money- and really in the end, it doesn’t matter if people are funding the system or the government- it's still a broken system.

The concept of Karma Clinic is simple: we wish to give the gift of health. We are practitioners with a broad scope of training in various areas of conventional and alternative health services. We want to see what happens when we just give it away! We are not funded by grants or extraneous funding sources. Our belief is that if this is something that the community needs, the community will sustain us. It's re-embracing the 'village doctor (or healer)'…

Our Vision is for Karma Clinic to be a health and healing center modeled in the spirit of giving, dissolving lines between eastern and western medicine, rich and poor, sick and healthy, to empower individuals to create optimal health and wellness by providing integrative healthcare services and education via sustainable partnerships with patients, practitioners, community, and environment.
