POCAfest Schedule Changes: May 30-June 3
POCAfest is an annual gathering of community acupuncturists, clinic staff, and patients from across the country and around the world. Lucky attendees spend the weekend getting to know each other and sharing information, best practices, and strategies to further the goals of Community Acupuncture: to make acupuncture available to as many people as possible and to support those providing acupuncture to create stable and sustainable businesses and jobs.
You can read Jeff and Cait’s reviews of last year’s POCAfest here. This year we are sending Whitney, Roselle and Cait to Rhode Island for the big event, which means you have the opportunity to get treated by some wonderful guest acupuncturists at OAP Laurel from May 30-June 3! Jeff, Scott, Sarah Elliott and Sarah Liners will be covering all our regular shifts. All the changes have been entered into the online scheduler.
Happy Birthday OAP!!
On February 7th we celebrated OAP’s five year anniversary! In our first year of business Whitney and Roselle provided approximately 2,800 affordable acupuncture treatments to the Oakland community from our Laurel Ave location. Five years later we are proud to have two locations that employ 7 people and provided over 17,000 treatments in 2012. Your ongoing support and referrals make all this possible. Thank you!
