Wellness, Resource & Outreach
Holistic Care for Neighbors Who Have Been Left Out of the Health System
Our Outreach Philosophy

Health outcomes in Deep East Oakland lag behind the rest of the county not because residents don't care about their health, but because the system has never made care reachable. Clinics are far, wait times are long, transportation is unreliable, and too many neighbors have been treated without respect when they did show up.
So we bring wellness to the block. Our outreach team meets people where they already are — at food distributions, encampments, senior buildings, and community events — and stays with them until a referral turns into actual care. Wellness here means the whole person: physical health, mental health, food, housing stability, and dignity.

"I didn't know where to start when I needed mental health support. The outreach team sat with me, made the calls, and followed up until I had an appointment."
