Affordable Wellness Care
The IMA's Affordable Holistic Care Directory project works to shine a light on holistic and integrative healthcare practitioners who are working to make their care more affordable in these challenging economic times.
The directory features acupuncturists, reiki practitioners ,and others who are providing who are accepting $35 or less for their services, as well as yoga and other wellness classes that charge less than $10.
Please choose your region:
Rhode Island Affordable Holistic Care Directory (two-sided brochure)
The
Rhode Island Directory, containing dozens of affordable holistic
healthcare services, has been published as a tri-fold brochure and
is now downloadable below:
Rhode Island Affordable Holistic Care Directory (pdf file)
This project is an all-volunteer effort. We welcome
your tax-deductible donations to make and distribute copies of this
brochure throughout Rhode Island. With your $50
donation, hundreds of copies of this brochure can be distributed to
social service organizations, free clinics, and other locations that
service people who may be in great need of these affordable
healthcare alternatives.
You
can mail your donation by check made out to the Integrative Medicine
Alliance, 180 Massachusetts. Ave., Arlington, MA 02474. Please
write "RI Affordable Holistic Care" on the check so we
know the intent of your donation. A receipt can be provided on
request for your tax records.
You can also support the IMA by becoming
a member.
If you are a caregiver providing low-cost holistic in integrative healthcare services and wish to be listed in the next edition of the Rhode Island brochure, just subscribe to our e-newsletter (see the box on the left-hand side of your screen) and indicate in the sign-up process that you wish to be contacted about the Affordable Care Directory project.
We are grateful for the assistance of volunteers Kevin Liou, Richard Stein, and Angela Wong in developing this directory.
Other Ways You Can Help
You can help this project by introducing us to bloggers, radio, TV, and print media contacts that might be interested in running a story how providers of low-cost holistic care in New England are helping people get well and stay well during the economic downturn.
You can also help this project by introducing us to Rhode Island providers of healthcare to the uninsured who might be interested in distributing our Rhode Island flyer.
Email IMA Founder Karlo Berger and tell us whom we should contact and whether we can mention your name. Thank you!
