Much of what will set ASHwell’s Red River clinic apart from any other medical space is the embrace of their specific clientele. As ASHwell’s Deputy Director of Strategic Partnershipsputs it, the organization works primarily with queer, Latinx, and BIPOC patients, many of whom currently or previously were in stigmatized situations such as sex work or drug usage.

When the shibari ropes are cut at Thursday’s grand opening, it will represent the result of much hard work on the part of ASHwell’s staff. As Stilb says, “It's good to finally have a home base.” ASHwell’s clinic on 3100 Red River has its grand opening on Thu., Sept. 22, starting at 4:00pm with a proclamation reading from Celia Israel. A reception will be held at ASHwell’s admin space, 6pm, with cocktails, food, and a photo retrospective.
