We are committed to our mandate to promote the best possible outcome for community health and safety. So, today, in light of the COVID19/Coronavirus epidemic, we are closing the clinic until Friday, March 27th. We are following the best advice from public health professionals and scholars, who all agree, that based on world-wide data, the best thing we can do is to encourage "social distancing" towards "flattening the curve" of transmission of the virus.
Our choice is a hard one, and heartbreaking in some ways. We realize many people in our community rely on us for healthcare, and there is so much we can do with acupuncture to keep people's immune sytem strong and resilient as well as helping with innevitable stress and fatigue. But, acupuncture cannot treat this virus. What we CAN do is to join efforts to slow it's spread. And, that means closing down for at least the next two weeks.
Please stay in touch with us through our website, and/or through our facebook and instagram pages, for updates. We'll post other health tips and info about the pandemic and how it relates to our communities,
We'll also let you know ways to support Kindred and affordable acupuncture during these extraordinary times.
Remember: Check in with loved ones. Remain generous and connected, even if that's by phone or online. Do not engage in xenophobia. Stay informed; avoid unreliable news sources. And support local and national efforts to enact universal health care. If some of us are left behind, we're all at risk.
With love,
Korben and Rachel and Gayle and Lissette and Amy
