What’s a Co-op?
A cooperative (“co-op”) or co-operative is an autonomous association of people who choose to cooperate for their mutual, social, economic, and cultural benefit. The cooperative movement has been fueled globally by ideas of economic democracy.
POCA, the People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture is the largest acupuncture organization in the U.S. and is also a co-operative. POCA members are acupuncturists, acupuncture clinics, patients, staff and supporting businesses. Together we’re the people of POCA!
