WAYS TO GIVE
Make a Gift: Every contribution strengthens three vital areas of Riordan Clinic’s mission:
PATIENT ASSISTANCE
Help families afford care
RESEARCH
Fuel the next breakthroughs in integrative medicine
INFRASTRUCTURE
Sustain and expand our ability to deliver healing
the opportunity ahead
In the past three years, 626 people sought care at Riordan Clinic but could not begin due to financial barriers. Over the next decade, our commitment is to bring the Riordan Approach to 10,000 new co-learners — expanding access, advancing research, and ensuring every patient who seeks help can begin their journey here.
2,348
Every number counts. Every life matters.
If fully funded, our Patient Assistance Fund could help at least 2,348 people access the care they otherwise couldn’t afford — care that brings hope, healing, and a second chance.
You can be part of their story. Join us.
