Our Sliding Scale

At Open Care Community, we believe that income should not decide whether or not you have access to quality care. That’s why we’ve implemented a sliding scale in our clinic. Those who can contribute a bit more allow us to fairly compensate our practitioners and keep our doors open. Most importantly, this approach helps us make acupuncture accessible to those who need it most. We ask that you take the time to consider where you best fit when booking an appointment with us. Thank you for being part of our community!
