Kudos to PIHMA's Student Interns
PIHMA's teaching clinic provides cost-effective acupuncture treatments and herbal consultations to its patients. PIHMA's students need valuable feedback to ensure they're on the right track to succeed as practitioners. This is why we provide a post treatment evaluation form for patients to share their opinions. Here are a few highlights of what our patients are saying about our interns:Scott Elkins: "Everything was just right!" Grayce Thoburn: "YAY! MUCH BETTER!" Kathy Bilak & Oksana Stoj: "They make a great team. I felt exceptionally well cared for during the entire experience. If different situations arise concerning my health, I would not hesitate to return and would definitely insist on "Care by Kathy"". Heidi McHardy: "Fantastic Needles!" Kat Myers: "This is helping. Thank you" Kat Myers: "Kat was awesome!! Easy to talk to." Kat Myers: "Well Done!!! I feel Great - THANK YOU" Jodee Chenaur & Charmaine Marck: "Both times I saw each of them they were very good." Bosun Kim: "Bosun was awesome! Felt like he really knew what he was doing. Thank you!" Margaret Steele: "Excellent treatment and fixed my problem!" Selene Hausman: "Thanks Selene!" The results of a recent survey declared that 97% of PIHMA's patients would enthusiastically recommend our clinic to a friend or family member. Without our patients, PIHMA's students could not get the education and experience they need to succeed. We thank you for providing feedback and encourage you to keep doing so. Your opinion is important to us! |
Message from PIHMA's President
Dear PIHMA Community,
It is with great regret, that I announce the passing of our Board Chair, Lucia Chow, MIM, who died on May 1st at 1pm. She fought valiantly and quite successfully her cancer and the side effects of chemo with Chinese medicine. Toward the end, Lucia realized that the western medical paradigm was not as effective as the Asian medical paradigm of Balance, and that returning to Balance was the key to preventing and curing cancer all along. Unfortunately the experimental chemotherapy she received significantly weakened her system, and she could not counteract the subsequent spread of the cancer.
Lucia served on the PIHMA Governing Board since 2004. With her unique background of a Masters in International Management and her knowledge of Chinese customs and culture, she contributed much to our growth, development and good feng shui which helped us survived many difficult years. She had a brilliant mind, a kind and compassionate spirit, was unselfish and always good humored.
She learned the Chinese science and art of Feng Shui and I-Ching from her father and received all of his secret teachings (unusual for female children). Indeed, I was amazed at her ability to mathematically calculate the exact date of my son's birth, predict with accuracy PIHMA's major events, obstacles and personnel issues. I even had the opportunity to check over 50 potential locations when we searched for our new, current home of the college. I was able to verify the information she provided about why the location would have problems with the realtor of the site, confirming that the business had bankrupt or the owner had health issues. Her annual updates and analyses of the coming year were always accurate to our great amazement. Combined with her excellent sense of business, she helped PIHMA grow successfully. She and her husband, David Mo, were true experts in these other sciences of Asian medicine and culture. We know Lucia's spirit continues to stay with us as she is indeed a part of the web of PIHMA's fabric. We will miss her greatly. Thanks for remembering Lucia and holding her family in your prayers.
Our VP-Board Member, Dr. Adelaid Severson has now stepped into the role of Chair and will capably lead our governance, along with members Mark Johnson, CPA, Alumni Member Marie Yahner, New Student Member Kirby Woods, all of our Board Advisors, and the nonprofit Board Members.
With sympathy and faith,
Catherine Niemiec, J.D., L.Ac.President
Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine & Acupuncture
