Thanks to the Oakland Rotary Club and Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, CMC now offers acupuncture in the community group setting. This model of treatment allows 8 clients to be treated at a time in the same healing space. While individual treatment rooms are still the core of our clinics, community healing spaces enable us to treat so many more women, especially those who are finished with conventional cancer treatments and wanting to recover and rebuild their immune systems.
