What is a "micro-clinic"?

A micro-clinic is an organically formed small group of approximately 3-15 participants who self-organize to manage their disease. This social dimension is essential, as it counteracts an individual's sense of isolation and disempowerment and leverages the power of pre-existing social solidarity to spread healthy behaviors throughout a community. Micro-clinics are not simply support groups, but constitute therapy management collectives that address both the biology and sociology of major epidemics at a community-wide level.
