Thank you all for your continued support! Hands For life Western Addition has been in operation during the shelter-in-place ordinance with the COVID-19 outbreak. While many outreach programs at the women’s shelter and Project Homeless Connect have been suspended to minimize exposure, we are still providing chiropractic care with home visits. The money raised for these services goes toward the outreach that will pick up once the State mandates have ceased. We will get through this together, and any donation toward Hands For Life Western Addition will help maintain its momentum in the upcoming months. Chiropractic care is an essential avenue for many to seek relief and supportive care without the need to access emergency care and hospital visits. The mission of our organization is to give that support to all, especially to those who are already under served. Let us continue to focus on community, health, and the well being of others. Your contribution continues to support these invaluable forces that underlies our...

WHEW! Great event today!! Over 55 people were adjusted! Hands For Life Western Addition collaborated with Project Homeless Connect for its first event this year. It is a thrill to see the same faces returning for adjustments, excited to experience the relief they did last time. While these events are only once every 3 months, I am noticing repeat patients eager to use the outreach that is available to them, and gives this non profit its true purpose: to create an avenue of holistic healthcare to the underserved populations. And it is wonderful to see their progress because of it. Hands For Life Western Addition continues to provide consistent weekly care at women’s shelters throughout the city, so please, your support matters! The more we can grow this wonderfully small outreach, the more nonprofit clinics can be served. Thank you for your continued Support! Dr. Katherine McCarty,...

OCTOBER OUTREACH AND PARTNERSHIP WITH PROJECT HOMELESS CONNECT! How does Hands For Life Western Addition contribute to the outreach of Project Homeless Connect? To understand this, we would love to give you a walk through description of how care is provided not just with PHC events, but also how it provides chiropractic care to shelters throughout the city. Hands For Life Western Addition provides a comprehensive initial evaluation to those who are experiencing a form of homelessness to see how chiropractic can help them. From there chiropractic analysis is done, to see where stress is building up in the spine. By using Activator adjusting techniques, Dr. McCarty is then able to realign areas of weakness in the spine that could be causing pain and other symptoms. She has seen incredible results with people that continue to utilize her services for pain relief and prevention, and happily has many repeat clients at the shelters she attends. With Project Homeless Connect, she will spend an entire day adjusting people between 10am-4:30pm. Last event, we saw over 45 people! It is with at this event, that people have access to basic needs from obtaining licenses, eye glasses, first aid, (to name a few) but also to holistic healthcare as well. Excited to join the effort yet...

Its outreach begin here in San Francisco, and already Dr. McCarty and its supporters are creating a rippling impact.
