Overview

Mission

To address several critical aspects of the current health care crisis, we are committed to providing affordable, high quality, integrative healthcare and empower our patients towards greater participation in and advocacy for their own health and wellness.

What it reported doing in 2025

We provide integrative healthcare services to over 3,600 patients, including acupuncture, chiropractic, physical therapy, and naturopathic primary care. Sojourns providers spend more time with patients and collaborate with each other to deliver the most comprehensive and interdisciplinary care. As a nonprofit clinic serving those who need us most, our model reflects an intention to elevate and humanize healthcare in a system that has been fragmented, over-systematized, and monetized.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 95% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
