If you would like to donate to the Portland Artist’s Clinic please follow this link and you will be taken to their site!
The challenges faced by the uninsured are growing. From a lack of access to simple screenings to the need for treatment, many are going without. Artists, in particular, are vulnerable to these pressures. In response to this reality, a team of doctors, practitioners and concerned citizens have teamed up to create an alternative to having no safety net. The Portland Artists Clinic is the product of their efforts.
Without a need for membership and with the presence of skilled practitioners, The Portland Artists Clinic is a bright spot on the horizon. The energy of the three ladies I interviewed is very present in the need to help. To help raise money for the creation of this clinic, the proceeds from this year’s Threshold event are being donated to their cause.
I think that you will enjoy this episode as it is a demonstration of a community healing itself; people taking on their own needs and filling the gaps. So, take a listen and find out what Portland is up to.
