Born out of the turbulence of the late 1960s, and on to our current work as a progressive coordinator of health care and social services, Aunt Martha’s has always been about responding to the needs of the people around us.
We started as a drop-in center – a very non-clinical setting – where young people could find an empathetic ear and talk about the challenges in their lives. It wasn’t long before entire families, and new communities were turning to Aunt Martha’s. These were opportunities that called for leadership and innovation, both characteristics which were imbued upon Aunt Martha’s and cultivated by our founders, who envisioned an organization unlike any other. Long before there was such a thing as “care coordination,” there was Aunt Martha’s – more connected, more comprehensive.
We are committed to social justice, health equity, and access to quality services for all. We engage a patient-centered approach that empowers all to live healthy lives. We celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion in all that we do. We support the transformation of our historically disadvantaged communities to strength and wellness through our trauma-informed care. We are fearless, optimistic, and innovative in our approaches and believe that we can overcome even the most severe barriers. We invest in our employees, providing them with the tools they need to grow and do their best work. We seek opportunities to grow our impact through strategic collaborations that embody our vision and values.
