HWB promotes down-to-the-ground green medicine for people who desire access to natural and botanical medicine based on need and not the ability to pay. All HWB Clinics depend on the generosity and volunteer time of the natural medicine communities they serve, from people like you.
Utilizing local volunteers, our HWB Clinic Groups are dedicated to serving those in their own communities and ensure their unique and specific needs are met.
About Our HWB Clinic Groups
Our Community Clinics Model informally began in 1995 (later formalizing in 2007) with mobile natural medicine clinic units in various locales providing accessible health and wellness education to patients and communities. HWB clinics offer both free and sliding-scale health and wellness services to patients in dire need.
These HWB Peoples Clinics vary depending upon the chapter that organizes them. Some are walk-in, by appointment, staffed by volunteer herbalists, naturopaths, massage therapists, reflexologists, and sundry other Complementary Alternative Medicine practitioners, as well as clinical herbalism students.
Clinics are hosted monthly in some regions and daily in other regions. All are run by volunteers. Peoples Clinics are as based on the needs of the people they serve in communities worldwide.
