Endless Possibilities Acupuncture, the practice of Dr. Rozenn, had a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, June 23rd to announce the remodel of her clinic. She used this opportunity to host a raffle fundraiser for Dining For Women.

The Santa Cruz Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Association and Vice Mayor, Don Lane, from the City Council came together to “Cut the Ribbon” and officially announce the remodel. Members of the community, students, patients, Dining For Women members and various health care practitioners gathered to celebrate and participate in the raffle. Prizes were donated by Endless Possibilities Acupuncture, The Bike Dojo, Kitti Homme Photography and Allana Williams.

By educating our members about the circumstances of women in some of the poorest countries in the world, our members become agents of change.” For more information, visit www.diningforwomen.org.

I wanted to post this review from YELP! Thanks for noticing all the little details, Marlene!

When you first enter the office, you are struck by the interior design which is excellent. Details beyond belief. If the treatment is as good as the details in the office, I will be well cared for. And my son was.
Office staff was efficient and helpful. The dr took his time with explaining procedures thoroughly.
I highly recommend this clinic.~Marlene M.

March 1 2009, Five Branches University held its first graduation ceremony conferring the degree Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, upon 36 graduates.  Keynote speaker, Marilyn Allen, M. Sc., Editor of Acupuncture Today, announced that this first graduating class has become Traditional Chinese Medicine’s  “Ancestors”  in the West.   While Five Branches University has offered a Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine for 25 years,  co-founders Ron Zaidman and Joanna Zhao recognized a need to offer a higher degree.

According to a new government survey, 38 percent of adults and 12 percent of children use Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM).  The survey results released in December 2008, in a National Health Statistics Report by the National Center for Health Statistics, NCHS a of the CDC, are based on data from more than 23,300 interviews with American adults.

The increasing use of alternative medicine calls for the highest level of training.   The extraordinary student body was composed of long time clinicians, professors, authors and a local health talk-show host.  Graduates included the co-founders of Five Branches University,  Zaidman and  Zhao.  Alameda acupuncturist and host of the Balancing Point weekly health radio show, John Nieters, delivered a poignant speech on behalf of his fellow graduates.   Dr. Nieters spoke of the great honor to be among this group of classmates and to have had the opportunity to study from the giants and innovators in this field, many of whom were flown in from China.

Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine which represents the highest degree available in the United States, includes a 1280 hour program and relies on partnerships with Stanford University and Zhejiang Medical University in China.  Drs. Rozenn and Nieters are also pursing PhDs in the exciting field of Integrated Western and Chinese Medicine through Zhejiang University. The modern integrative curriculum offers students an opportunity to glean the best from East and West.
