We wish to improve the quality of life in our community by providing relief from the pain, discomfort, stress, isolation and financial burden of acute and chronic illness through affordable and accessible community acupuncture and other holistic modalities.

We’re excited to share our collective knowledge with our community through classes, seminars, and consultations. We look forward to empowering our neighbors to play an active role in their own wellness and continue to live healthy lives.
How is Our Organization Charitable?
Our unique practice model and nonprofit status, enables Lakewood Community Acupuncture to provide affordable acupuncture at approximately ⅓ the cost of private acupuncture in our area. A lower cost makes our services accessible to more people in our community, giving most income levels the opportunity to enjoy the therapeutic, preventive, and palliative benefits of acupuncture.
As part of our commitment as a nonprofit health clinic, we sell all our herbal medicine and nutritional supplement products at 25% or greater reduced resale cost. Lakewood Community Acupuncture also offers your first Nutrition for Heart and Body Appointment, featuring the Heart Sound Recorder, free. It’s our gift to you, for optimal health and well-being.
Lakewood Community Acupuncture does not require or request any proof of income for our low-cost services. We offer the same quality treatment to everyone regardless of gender, race, income, national origin, age, ability or disability, marital status, familial situation, religion, size, sexual orientation, veteran status, or political beliefs of any kind. When available, in addition to our low-cost treatment, we offer free or reduced cost care as outlined by our Financial Assistance Charity Care Policy.
