third root community health center - opening in ditmas park!

ditto! yes, my friends are involved as well but i am super impressed and proud of them for getting it off the ground.

I will fwd your concerns, sorry to hear.

Third Root Community Health Center is a worker-owned cooperative of 8 practitioners from different modalities. Our skills and experiences vary and overlap. We have no boss, and we are each the boss, making collaborative decisions, and caring for our communities in a cohesive way. Third Root is a place for acute or chronic health concerns, preventive care, and resources for making informed choices in healthcare. Third Root is accessible and inclusive regardless of race, gender, gender identity, sexuality, class status, immigration status, ability, or age, where practitioners learn from each other, exchanging ideas and treatments, and work together to better serve clients.


Third Root strives to be Accessible, Empowering, and Collaborative:


Accessible: We offer sliding scale fees, a staff trained in anti-oppression, and a clinic that is working and building bridges within a community.


Empowering: Third Root is a place where people learn to make informed choices about self-care. We offer health education workshops, herb walks, a research area, and someone available for questions.


Collaborative: Practitioners from various modalities work together toward a client's optimum health. We will be working with members of the local community to form a Community Advisory Board as well as help shape workshops on health and wellbeing that reflect the community's needs.







Community Acupuncture
Community Acupuncture takes place in a group setting, where patients lay in comfortable recliner chairs and receive acupuncture on their arms and legs. It's an affordable way to address your health care needs, while getting the chance to relax and enjoy some quiet time. Feel free to come in with a friend or family member and get treated at the same time!

Thanks brooklynleather, you're the best!

The beginner's yoga class which I was interested in is only on Mondays, early evening. I would not be able to make it back from work in time for it.

I may check out the private yoga sessions.

You are welcome Darla!

I would definitely send them feedback since this is there "summer schedule" maybe they need to just start classes later! You can send me notes if you don't hear back from them and I can send it to my friend.

have fun!
