Support our Community Acupuncture Clinic!
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Dr. Candace Lopez (DACM, L.Ac.). After getting my ass handed to me by a couple of different health conditions as a disabled combat veteran (Army), I realized that the availability, affordability, access, and quality of healthcare people need to make advances in health are limited in this area. Even as a combat vet and TCM doctor, I was unable to access care for months, and then the service offered by typical managed care was sporadic and unhelpful at best.
Our board and I have established a community acupuncture clinic offering low-cost consistent health care and education to largely underserved areas in Los Angeles and Orange County starting in Long Beach CA. The huge group of patients we have have trouble accessing a doctor, receiving care, and sourcing information to use our techiniques as self-care with chronic conditions.
I also want a place for new doctors, acupuncturists and chiropractors alike, to come educate the public, perform treatment, and learn how to manage a clinic.
We are raising funds to offset the cost of funding our permanent space to treat patients, office supplies like signage, reclining chairs, needles, sharps containers, and business licensing.
We are a 501c3 clinic, and as a non-profit, your donations are tax-deductible. Any support we are blessed to receive goes into education, paying our doctors, and expansion.
