Charlotte Maxwell Clinic is a women's health facility founded in Oakland in 1991 that provides free integrative care to under-served, low-income women facing cancer. A large network of volunteer practitioners delivers a range of complementary therapies, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, homeopathy, bodywork, guided imagery, movement, and nutritional therapies. These modalities aim to support the immune system and enhance well-being during the demanding course of conventional cancer treatment, particularly for patients who lack access to such services through standard care. Operating in the Hospitals and Health Care sector, the clinic serves women who are low-income or uninsured and may not have access to integrative options. Based in Oakland, California, it relies on volunteers rather than a traditional paid staff to deliver care at no cost, with the goal of improving health outcomes and reducing disparities tied to cancer and poverty in the Bay Area. In February 2023, the organization announced the development of a Food as Medicine program, partnering with local caterers, Full Belly Farm, and other supporters to provide healthy meals and produce to clients.
