COVID updates

Green Muse Herbs and Heart & Hands Health Collective, as businesses, have both been built on values of economic and disability justice, mutual aid, community care, and upholding public health and safety. We are one of the few remaining safer retail and clinical spaces for people with vulnerable and suppressed immune systems and will continue…

Despite us being in peak respiratory virus season, with tons of the flu, colds, pneumonia, RSV and COVID flying around, there is still a vocal minority who are staunchly and ill-advised against masking for their own safety and the safety of those around them.  Heart & Hands is one of the few remaining practices in town…

With the growing tidal wave of COVID infections combined with the usual seasonal illnesses, Jade and Christina are taking the VERY IMPORTANT opportunity to remind our community that if you’re not masking in crowded spaces both indoor and outdoor, that maybe you should consider starting again.

Due to the nature of our community space + that many of our clients are medically vulnerable and/or of varying vaccination statuses, masking is the simplest measure…
