Alternative Rx Solutions was Founded in 2010 by Aaron Chandler, to facilitate the delivery of valuable medical and home care support services to low and moderate income San Francisco clients. It is evident there are many dimensions to health and wellness, that include emotional, social, physical, spiritual and physiological health. San Francisco has long pioneered and touted a holistic approach to delivery of healthcare although many supportive services have not been afforded to low income San Franciscans, and in fact, are continuing to be cut as the California State economy has yet to rebound. In order to bridge this gap and help relieve the financial burdens associated with positive health outcomes, Alternative Rx Solutions has created a model that minimizes costs for medications and services for all of it’s members.
Many dispensaries claim to be alternative medicinal and therapeutic professionals but in fact offer no services other than marijuana for sale and sometimes a bong to use. Indeed, there are a handful of dispensaries that provide minimal supportive services. For instance, perhaps one day a week, they will have a masseuse in house for complimentary massages, or yoga lessons.
Clearly, a significant amount of medical marijuana patients suffer from chronic and fatal illnesses. Our services support recovery from stroke, trauma, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease, HIV/AIDS, non-ambulatory disabilities, pain & stress management, and sleep & eating disorders. Although dispensaries in fact provide a very valuable service to medical marijuana patients (it is absolutely necessary to have safe access points for patients), we believe they don’t go far enough. Many of these dispensaries are bringing in a significant amount of revenue that is not being redirected into programs that benefit its collective base.
Along with free delivery of medical cannabis, Alternative Rx Solutions provides a range of home services to its members living with disabilities. As Alternative Rx Solutions staff and volunteers, we pride ourselves on helping members overcome overwhelming living conditions by offering every service from taking out the trash to holding member yoga sessions.
The programs and alternative health solutions offered by Alternative Rx Solutions illustrate our dedication and commitment to our members. We are qualified patients, caregivers and volunteers that understand the importance of holistic, supportive, alternative medicines and therapies.
