the rock weekly

We’re in the midst of officially opening our doors, which has been a true labor of love.  For the past two weeks, Rock Health fellows and friends have been painting and constructing our office.  We love our location: in the heart of Chinatown overlooking Old Saint Mary’s Cathedral.  Stay tuned, we may invite you by sometime.
