About
A clinic built around a sliding scale
Bessie Flowers opened Daybed so people on the east side could get acupuncture on a schedule that fits a paycheck: short visits, a shared room and a fee you choose.
Why a shared room
Treating several people in one quiet room keeps visits short and the scale low, so coming often is possible. It also means nobody waits on a hallway bench with a clipboard. You come in, you rest, and you go.
Veterans and neighbors
We built the clinic for veterans and for neighbors on a tight budget. Everyone sits in the same room, uses the same sliding scale and gets the same care.
The team
Who is in the room
Three acupuncturists
Bessie Flowers, Denny Baeza and Jeri Brightman each hold a Maryland acupuncture license, listed at the bottom of every page. They place the needles and plan your visits.
Front-desk volunteers
Volunteers answer the phone, check you in, bring blankets and tea and take payment. They do no needle work and give no medical advice.
You
Come as you are. Tell the acupuncturist what you need, and say so whenever you want to stop.
