The Alternative Medical Choices Clinic 4867 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
Portland Occupy Health has organized an Occupy Health Fair to empower the community to reclaim their health. This unique event is meant to create dialog between Healthcare Organizations and Communities, provide information on alternatives to the current profit-driven insurance model of care, and educate on broad-spectrum health.
We are bringing awareness to the community about solutions to the current broken model of healthcare and educate them on solutions available to them currently. Many uninsured and underinsured do not know that there are alternatives to a costly trip to the ER or waiting until you are seriously ill to seek help. Moreover, there is a need to educate the community on ways to stay well and keep not only their body healthy but the surrounding community.
Portland Occupy Health is a grass roots organization of citizens and professionals dedicated to empowering communities to take control, and positively transform their health and the healthcare system.
