Here is something cool I just found out about...
The Sassafras Community Health Collective
http://sassafrascommunityhealthcollective.yolasite.com/
The Sassafras Community Health Collective is a group of herbalists and other health care providers interested in creating new models for community wellness. We continue to engage in the study and practice of sustainable, accessible, and anti-oppressive health care.We believe that self-care allows us greater choice and empowerment in our lives. We think that quality health care is accessible, educational, and anti-oppressive. We seek to build community by supporting people in and around Asheville, North Carolina in meeting their heath care needs. We are excited to share our love of plants and herbal medicine with you.
We Offer:
Workshops and Gatherings on health care, self-care and herbalism
Zines and other Literature
Sliding Scale Herbal Consultations
Free Drop in Herbal Medicine Clinic at AHOPE. 1-4pm Every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month.
We are excited to co-sponsor or co-lead workshops, clinical hours, and other health-related events. Please contact us if you are interested in working together. We’d love to hear from you!

Open Invitation To Participate In Creating A Community Health Network
We are collaborating with the Asheville community to create a comprehensive directory of affordable, accessible, integrative health care in the area.The SCHC understands that individuals and communities stand at multiple intersections of race, language, income, gender, age ability, sexuality, nationality and that our current health care systems sometimes fail to address the needs of those identities and circumstances. Sometimes it's hard to find health care at all. Because health care is a right and not a privilege, we want people to have easy access to providers who practice care that is empowering and specific to their needs.
