Mission

Tapestry is a community-based non-profit organization providing compassionate health care, support services, and education to Western Massachusetts. We believe that high-quality care should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation or income.

At Tapestry, everyone has a safe space to receive the care they need, without fear of judgment or stigma. When you come to us for services, you pay based on what you can afford, and no one is ever turned away.

What We Do

Tapestry was founded in 1973 to provide healthcare to people whose access to it is blocked by the stigma. In the 1970s this was sexual and reproductive health, in the 80s we expanded to provide services for people at risk of HIV/AIDS, and in the 90s our HIV work grew to encompass syringe access services, and we continue to expand our programs to help people who use drugs. We also have a WIC program that provides food and nutrition to young families in our area.
