Final Free Acupuncture Clinic March 15
The last free acupuncture clinic for members of the Palouse suffering from PTSD was Sunday, March 15th. Due to the lack of attendance during the last month, we decided to stop offering the clinic ahead of schedule. However, it was a really wonderful experience and I think many people benefited from the services provided.
I want to thank everyone who participated as a patient and to encourage all of you to continue receiving care as needed. You are all welcome to contact any of the acupuncturists to seek additional acupuncture care – we are available to refer you to counselors and/or connect you with other resources in the area.
I also want to thank the Uma Center for donating their space for our cause. It is such a beautiful building and was perfect for our purpose. Most importantly, I want to thank all of the acupuncturists for donating their Sunday afternoons, knowledge and supplies: Naomi Brownson, Kameron Schott, Meggan Baumgartner and Cass McLean.
I feel truly blessed to be a part of this amazing community.
