Health care is the most utilized service in Hour Exchange Portland, with nearly 1600 hours of care provided in 2009. There are more than 30 different health services currently offered through HEP, ranging from comprehensive mental health and counseling services, to herbal medicine, traditional allopathic medicine consults, energy therapies, exercise partners, nutritional consults, bodywork, midwifery and childbirth support, and meditation. There are also many services available through Hour Exchange that can help support you during an illness or injury, like transportation to medical appointments, or a fresh-cooked meal delivered to your home. HEP's health care access initiative is working to make this wide variety of health services increasingly available to its members by recruiting more health care providers to Hour Exchange, and supporting and retaining providers already working with Hour Exchange.
