More than a clinical service:

A healthcare cooperative rooted in community and solidarity

We Take Care of Us is working to shift the conventional power dynamics of healthcare. We’re moving beyond an individualistic approach to health and growing a community in which We Take Care of Us.

    Our Members

    Our worker-members come from diverse backgrounds in art, education, public health research, and community organizing.

    Having worked inside and outside the Medical Industrial Complex, we are aware of the urgent need for alternative spaces to cultivate health and healing.

    We are committed to providing whole-person care, guided by racial, reproductive, disability and LGBTQIA+ justice frameworks.
