Community Clinic Team

 
 

Nibezun and Homeopaths Without Borders partner together to bring a monthly telehealth homeopathy clinic to members of the Wabanaki communities residing in Maine. The Community Clinic is available the first Wednesday of every month from 9AM-2PM.  

The Community Clinic is an integrative support to patient health care and does not replace the need for a primary care provider. We are able to mail medications for patients unable to pickup their medications in Old Town.

For questions or concerns, please contact us at (207) 285-5207 or nibezun_cc@hwbna.org.
