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.

Why it Matters

Latine and Indigenous immigrants in Sonoma County face health disparities that are shaped and sustained by ongoing social and economic inequities.

Our services are:

Mobile: Residential segregation—based on race, ethnicity, income, and occupation—remains a significant social determinant of health.

Bilingual: 4 in 10 of the 29,000 undocumented immigrants in Sonoma County do not speak English.

Bicultural: Positive mental health outcomes, particularly those addressing immigration trauma, are more effectively achieved by valuing and integrating cultural wealth.
