We have had two meetings with DHS ‘s Health Advisory Council to discuss improving insurance coverage for acupuncture treatments. The next meeting is this Thursday September 10th with the Health and Services Advisory Council in St Paul. 

We are also planning a Legislative Bootcamp coming soon that will be free to attend and help prepare acupuncturists to communicate with our state legislators. It will be a basic training for acupuncturists that are new to how legislation works and what our key messaging is to our legislators.

Also acupuncturists were present at the Pain Pill Problem Minnesota Moving Forward Together on August 25th. Among them were AOMAM board members John Blaska and Rhonda Witmer and other acupuncturists Bonnie Bolash and Michael Egan to name a few. Courtney Baechler from the Penny George Institute for Health and Healing was a panelist on the Prescribing & Pain Culture. 

Legislators and Law Enforcement that we need to stay in contact to keep the ball rolling.

Also of equal importance, is the call to fundraise for the 2016 legislative support. It will be critical to help move some of these initiatives along, but as with most things these days, it requires both time and money. 

We need your help! Your input! Your support! Donate today! 

Go to the Donation section of our website or on our GoFundMe site....every and any amount goes towards reaching our goals and is EXTREMELY appreciated (and needed).

Another way to help us fundraise is to become a member or renew your membership. As many of you know, our organization is run by a volunteer Board of Directors. ALL of the fees and money raised via fundraising and membership goes towards our strategic objectives and minimal operating costs.

Please do so online and spread the word to your colleagues!
