Our Mission:
Charlotte Maxwell Clinic's mission is to provide access to integrative medical treatment for women with cancer. By providing these services, we hope to empower women to have control over their lives and healthcare choices. Through this work, we will also educate the community at large about cancer and about healthcare as a human right. The clinic was founded specifically to treat women because of the particular social, economic, and political realities women face in our society and in relation to the healthcare system.
