Community & Co-operatives

Seminole Heights Community Acupuncture is part of a nationwide movement to fix health care. We're members of a national co-op, the Peoples Organization for Community Acupuncture, a group that is helping bring clinics like ours into existence. Patients and acupuncturists alike are members of the co-op; anyone can join!

Building community is essential to our clinic. Stress, pain and illness are isolating. When you come for care you'll notice other people receiving treatments in the rooms with you. People are quiet during their treatments and in all likelihood you'll never know the names of the people or why they come for care. But over the years we've found that treating in a community setting makes acupuncture more effective. Group treatments like ours are common in Asia. And it makes it easier for us to see the volume of people we need to keep our prices low. And for patients to bring their family and friends along, too.

Often patients enjoy the space so much they want to become more involved in the community: they join POCA, the Peoples Organization for Community Acupuncture, and find our ways to contribute by volunteering and getting involved.

If you're interested in helping out, just let the front desk staff know. Communities like ours are always growing. For more information about the community acupuncture movement and POCA click here.
