Hospitals Leading the Way: Integrating Chinese Medicine
 The latest information on acupuncture use shows that a third of the U.S. population has tried it at least once. As one of the leading institutions in the education of Chinese medicine practitioners in the nation, OCOM believes that that's because Chinese medicine, including acupuncture and herbs, provides a patient-centered health care option that is not only effective for the treatment of certain diseases, but is also focused on preventative care and health maintenance. With a growing base of clinical studies demonstrating the effectiveness of the medicine, a number of Western medical providers are leading the way toward integrative care by adding Chinese medicine to their in-house health care services. Two leading U.S. hospitals were recently featured in online stories highlighting their integration of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to better support their patient health needs: The Cleveland Clinic and University of Colorado Hospital. You don't have to travel across the country to experience the healing benefits of Chinese medicine. OCOM's clinics offer $25 acupuncture appointments and $5 herbal consultations.
