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.

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.
