Alternative Health

Alternative Medicine Clinic

Here at the Centro Autónomo we see the need to put a monetary value on every thing, person and relationship as counter to community building. Alternatives to this capitalist mind-set are possible- our free Alternative Medicine Clinic is a perfect example. This clinic is administered by a local women’s cooperative made up of licensed health professionals. Their principle and ours is that health is a basic human right that need not be contingent on a person’s salary or family means. The holistic focus of the cooperative's Eastern medicine-based care is consistent with our perspective, as it sees a person integrally and also as a node within a larger web of social connections, thereby seeking to solve health issues from their root cause.
