The Botanical Bus

We are a bilingual mobile clinic that provides place based, culturally centered, collaborative healthcare in Latine and Indigenous immigrant communities.

Latine is a gender-neutral form of the word Latino, created by gender non-binary and feminist communities in Spanish-speaking countries.

The objective of the term is to remove gender from Spanish, by replacing it with the gender-neutral Spanish letter E, which can already be found in words like estudiante.

What We Do

We strive to increase access to healthcare, reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes so that Latine and Indigenous immigrants experience healing justice, radical belonging and community care.

Our direct healthcare services, provided at vineyard worksites, farmworker housing, offices of legal access programs and family service centers, include herbalism, nutrition, massage, acupuncture, and somatic therapy.

In one year of receiving bilingual, bicultural healthcare services at Botanical Bus mobile clinic, 93% of return clients experience self-affirming, improved health outcomes.
