A New Cuts & Checks Partnership
We’ve long been fans of Jamaal and Christina Lane, and their Champions Barbershop, one of the first partner barbershops in our Cuts & Checks program. When Christina & Jamaal made their dream of opening a barbering school a reality last year, we started talking about how we could take our partnership to the next level...and so was born the Cuts & Checks Scholarship for Student Barbers program, the first partnership of its kind in the country! Our goal is to help revive the historical connection…
Welcome, Shane Hervey!

Mr. Moaning’s Story
In the summer of 2012, David Moaning knew he needed a primary care provider to help him manage his high blood pressure. When someone suggested North by Northeast, he came down on a Thursday night for one of our walk-in clinics. “Right away,” he says, “I knew this was a place where I could get healthy. They sat down and just listened. I thought, ‘Hey, they’re interested in me!’” Five years later, when asked if feels like his health has improved at NxNE, Mr. Moaning says, “I know…
“Health on the Corner” Health Fair
Our Patient Wellness Council had been dreaming of a North by Northeast health fair for years, so when we moved into our new space on NE 7th & Alberta last fall, they started planning to make that dream come true.

On Saturday, August 19, over 100 community…
