Working Class Acupuncture in Portland




Working Class Acupuncture's mission is to use acupuncture to create social change in health care. We provide, and advocate for others to provide, accessible acupuncture and wellness resources for working class patients; we support acupuncturists in being social entrepreneurs; and we share our business model for natural health care that empowers patients, builds community and breaks down class divisions. Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used systems of healing in the world. Acupuncture is simple, safe, and sustainable healthcare. As acupuncture has moved more toward the mainstream in America, it has become prohibitively expensive for most people, but this trend does not have to continue. Acupuncture does not need to be expensive to be effective. Acupuncture can be part of the solution to the soaring cost of healthcare – if it is affordable and accessible to everybody. Working Class Acupuncture makes this possible. We are located at 3526 NE 57th Ave in sunny Portland, Oregon. We are open for appointments 9am-7pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 8am-8pm Wednesday; and on Saturday 9am-12noon and again from 2pm-6:30pm. Our phone number is (503)335-9440. Call us and make an appointment today! (Sorry, we are usually unable to take walk-ins!)

The Common Ground Health Clinic is a free, integrative health clinic established after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana. Our mission is to provide quality, client centered primary healthcare to uninsured, underinsured and in need folks in the New Orleans Community while developing a model of a community controlled healthcare organization. We are currently in our second year of existence and have seen over 15,000 patients. Our services include primary care, medication refills, lab work, bi-lingual services, a Latino Health Outreach Project, acupuncture, herbalism and health education. We have built a basic network of donors, funders, volunteers and supporters, and established relationships with numerous other public health, medical, and grassroots organizations. Currently we are focused on fortifying these local and national networks in order to guarantee the long-term sustainability of the clinic and to make Common Ground Health Clinic an organization that is truly anti-racist and community driven.
