| Healthcare for Artists - A Different Kind of Care The spotlight on healthcare reform is brighter than ever right now, with not just the well-being of our bodies but the well-being of our economy at stake. Over twenty non-profits are currently calling on Congress to enact legislation that will support insurance options for individual artists. Here in the Twin Cities Dr. Sam Willis is preparing to open the doors on a new health clinic geared toward providing affordable and accessible healthcare for our community of artists and members of the GLBT and allied communities. The clinic operates on a retainer model, limiting the amount of patients see at the clinic to provide more immediate access to care and to cultivate the patient-physician relationship. In other parts of the country, similar healthcare variants are showing that more effective and lower-cost healthcare is possible. As for the artists and communities in the Twin Cities, Dr. Sam Willis will start seeing patients on Monday, August 17th, 2009 at his new clinic on 1300 Quincy Street Northeast in Minneapolis. Thanks to your feedback, Dr. Sam has developed a medical practice which he hopes will provide affordable and accessible healthcare for our community of artists and members of the GLBT and allied community. The clinic operates on a retainer model, limiting the amount of patients seen at the clinic to provide more immediate access to care and to cultivate the patient-physician relationship. For more information on the clinic, please see www.doctorsame.us or email doctorsamwillis@doctorsam.us or call (612) 353-4034 to set up an appointment. We also invite you to come celebrate the opening of the clinic with this free event integrating art and yoga: Yoga PopUp! Thursday August 27th 6:30pm Yoga instructor Helen Simrill and Artist and Yoga Enthusiast Camille Gage of Form + Content Gallery are creating free, spontaneous yoga events integrating art and yoga. The office of Doctor Sam is hosting a Yoga PopUp on August 27th. Space is limited for this event so please RSVP to doctorsamwillis@gmail.com if you would like to attend or are interested in attending. Light food and beverage will be provided. |
