Title A name given to the resource The Mutual Aid Wellness Collective: A Case Study of Post-Disaster Mutual Aid Health Work in Western North Carolina Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource July 18, 2025 Description An account of the resource This case study explores the emergence of a grassroots healthcare collective formed during a catastrophic flood and seeks to continue services to address the ongoing disaster of inaccessible healthcare. While many healthcare providers understand the limitations of their institutions, the energy and common ground of west Asheville’s emergency response to Hurricane Helene next to the failure of regionwide healthcare response catalyzed efforts to sustain the collective. With a background on healthcare in the United States, examples of community-based healthcare models in the U.S., and reflections with core members, volunteer providers, and partner organizations, the Mutual Aid Wellness Collective illustrates a healthcare strategy that improves access, especially during disasters. By considering how healthcare providers mobilized during a crisis, adapted service delivery to meet local needs, and the struggle to sustain momentum, mutual aid presents a framework for equitable healthcare access for the dual disasters of climatic events and growing poverty in the United States.

As the storm raged and for several days beyond—without power or water—Kerri worked tirelessly, sometimes overnight, to ensure the health and well-being of those in shelters and those most affected by the storm. In the weeks and months that followed, Kerri and the other members of the Public Health Mobile Team visited communities across Buncombe County to offer vaccines, information, and resources to those in need. Her dedication went far beyond her required role as she provided comfort, care, and stability during one of our community’s most trying times. Kerri continues to stand by the people of our community, offering support to those still facing the long-term trauma of the storm. Thank you Kerri for being a true hero!

Using her ingenuity and compassion, she researched emergency sanitation solutions and began constructing makeshift toilets—then taught others how to build their own. Recognizing the wider need for accessible sanitation options, she launched Toilets of AVL—a crowdsourced map helping Asheville residents locate public toilets, portapotties, laundry facilities, showers, and handwashing stations after the storm. Her resource quickly became a lifesaving tool for thousands in need. Her quick thinking and hands-on approach not only helped prevent a growing public health crisis but also gave people back their dignity. Lark, we honor you for your leadership, resilience, generosity… and much appreciated sense of humor when it was needed most!
