About HCHR

Health Care is a Human Right (HCHR) is a 501(c)3 not for profit charitable corporation. We were founded in 2003 by Susan Weeks, Physician Assistant; Vicky O’Dougherty, Homeopath; Susan Bissonnett, RN; and Jill Elliot, DVM.

Since its inception, Health Care is a Human Right has offered free clinics in the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York. We work with dedicated professionals who volunteer their services and expertise in a range of holistic wellness modalities.

HCHR coordinates free holistic wellness clinics in Woodstock, Phoenicia, and in Kingston.

We also organize specialty clinics for deserving community groups and organizations, thanks to a generous grant from the Morty and Gloria Wolosoff Foundation.

Our Vision

Accessible holistic health care for all.

Our Mission
