Org Synopsis 

St. Teresa Acupuncture Wellness Clinic is a nonprofit low cost acupuncture clinic organized for the purpose of providing quality alternative healthcare to the public that is safe & natural, effective, and affordable for all people and all different income levels. Our clinic is operated and supported by voluntary donations only. At St. Teresa, treatments are provided equally to all patients and no person will be denied service due to one's inability to donate or pay.

St. Teresa was founded in 2009 as a grassroots response to the rising costs of healthcare, the unstable economy that undermines so many people's livelihood, and the noncoverage of acupuncture in healthcare plans. Government's medicare, medicaid, and most insurance plans currently do not cover acupuncture. Chinese medicine treatment is an out-of-pocket expense for the majority of people. Acupuncture is no longer an optional health service but a necessity. With the growing number of Americans now relying more and more on Chinese medicine as primary or complementary healthcare, our current economic challenges are not filling this need for so many people.

Our organization is nonprofit, nondenominational, and nonpolitical. We simply recognized a real basic need for a workable system of healthcare for everyone. As a result, our vision of a compassionate and equitable healthcare service was conceived to support the needs of all people from all socioeconomic strata and from all walks of life.

Our public service is designed on an inclusive, open-door policy. Due to the often misleading representation of one's "income bracket" that does not truly reflect one's disposable income, we do not screen our patients for eligibility. We trust that each patient knows best his/her personal financial and life situation, thus our donation basis for treatment allows patients the free will and ease of mind to give whatever amount that they desire or that they can comfortably give within their means.

St. Teresa nonprofit clinic was a vision inspired by the life and work of Mother Teresa, and in her honor, our clinic bears her name. We pray that Mother Teresa continues to bless our work and service to the community now and into the future and that all people of the world be given the joy of peace and wellness.

Om Shanti
