People’s Health Sanctuary (PHS) is a community-led mutual aid health initiative, based in North Central Troy. PHS is a space for gathering, sharing food, moving your body, working through grief, cultivating a sense of safety, and embodying a culture of care. We know deep in our bones, just as our ancestors did, that our individual and collective health are inseparable.
