What We Do

We expand access, reduce disparities, and improve health outcomes by advancing cultural belonging as a social determinant of health. Our mobile services, provided in partnership with Federally Qualified Health Centers and family service centers at community care hubs, include herbalism, nutrition, massage, acupuncture, foot care, art therapy, mindfulness, community circles, shared meals, food distribution and warm referrals into wrap-around care.

Access drives impact: 98% of participants report improved access to care. As barriers are overcome, trust, connection and self-determination grow. Nearly all participants report feeling recognized, respected, and connected to their culture and healing traditions, while gaining greater agency in caring for themselves and their families. Returning participants experience improved health outcomes, including a 20-percentage-point reduction in reported mental health symptoms.

One participant shares, “At Botanical Bus clinics, I feel understood, accompanied, and empowered.”
