Charlotte Maxwell Clinic

Charlotte Maxwell Clinic Charlotte Maxwell Clinic is a women's health clinic founded in Oakland in 1991, offering free integra

Licensed/certified complementary practitioners volunteer to provide integrative health treatments to low-income cancer clients. Treatments include acupuncture, herbal medicine, homeopathy, bodywork, guided imagery, movement, and nutritional therapies. These healing modalities have been shown to help the immune system recover from the harsh but necessary and life-saving treatments of Western medicine. Most importantly, these treatments generally are not known or not financially accessible to women who are low-income and uninsured. Our community of over 230 clients, 160 volunteers, and 5 staff includes monolingual, bilingual, differently abled, and women of color. We serve low-income women with any kind of cancer, whether it be breast cancer, cervical cancer, metastatic cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, etc.

It’s Giving Tuesday! Every dollar you give today provides healing therapies, healthy food,
and hope for women with cancer at Charlotte Maxwell Clinic.
This holiday season, low-income women face profound challenges—shrinking federal
support, stricter work requirements, and food banks still recovering from the government
shutdown. For 30+ years, CMC has offered free care and organic produce to women with
advanced cancer, many facing systemic barriers to help.

Judith limped into CMC for her first reiki appointment —and walked out on her own.

At 81, Judith is climbing stairs and reclaiming her life—thanks to our free, compassionate cancer care. Your support helps more women like Judith heal and thrive.

💗 Sister Support Sircle x Miracle Miles for Maria 💗

Look at how amazing this is!
This walk is held in loving memory of Maria, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 34 and passed away at 37.

Maria found peace, healing, and sisterhood at Charlotte Maxwell Clinic — whether through acupuncture, massages, support groups, or simply sharing a cup of tea in a space where she felt safe, seen, and understood by others walking the same path. 💕

Maria was introduced to Charlotte Maxwell by her older sister, an intern at the clinic — and from there, her connection to this community grew deeper.

✨ A heartfelt thank you to Sister Support Sircle for your continued support of Charlotte Maxwell Clinic and for honoring Maria’s legacy through your dedication, compassion, and advocacy. Your efforts help ensure that CMC can continue to be a lifeline and a source of care, healing, and community for women facing cancer. ✨

🌸 Room to Heal: Charlotte Maxwell Clinic Open House 🌸
October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month—a time to raise awareness, honor survivors, and remember those we’ve lost to breast cancer.
At CMC, we see the human side of this diagnosis every day: the fear and uncertainty, the exhaustion of treatment, and the resilience it takes to keep moving forward. For the women we serve, that journey is made even harder by obstacles to care, language barriers, and limited resources—challenges that are becoming more widespread.
Right now, more women than ever are turning to us for care. We’re growing because the need is growing. We’re expanding by knocking down walls to create more space for healing, group wellness classes, and new offerings.
Join us on December 4th for our Open House as we honor the volunteers and staff who make our work possible and remember the clients whose stories shape our mission.
🗓️ December 4, 2025
⏰ 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM
📍 411 30th Street, Suite 508, Oakland, CA
Come see our new space, celebrate the people who make it possible, remember those we’ve lost, and help us continue expanding access to compassionate care.

Our Story

The Charlotte Maxwell Clinic is named in honor of Charlotte Maxwell, who died of ovarian cancer in 1988.

Charlotte strongly believed that the integrative cancer care that enhanced the quality of her life in her last months should be accessible to all Bay Area low-income, underserved women with cancer.
