Why this petition matters

Started by Ann Zee

ACUPUNCTURE HAS BEEN MISSED IN THE PROVINCE'S RE-OPENING PHASE 1 STRATEGY!


It's true. Every Regulated Health Profession in Alberta has been given the go-ahead to open by May 14th. Except Acupuncture.

We have been overlooked as a provincially regulated health profession (which we are) for Phase 1.
You can go golfing, get a haircut or get your dog's nails trimmed.
You can also get basic Acupuncture from a Chiropractor, Physiotherapist or Naturopathic Doctor right now.


But as of today, you cannot receive Acupuncture from a provincially registered Acupuncturist with at least 4 years of dedicated training. Our extensive education includes strict safety protocols and a wealth of health related education.

What the Heck?

THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN!

Can you please sign this petition?

The more names we get, the greater attention and support we bring to this oversight. The goal is to have our provincially regulated profession available to you now. 

We understand the inherent value that our medicine has brought to your lives and ask that you pay it forward and help to bring awareness of this oversight to AB Health, Dr. Deena Hinshaw and Mr Tyler Shandro, so that we can get back to doing what we do best, supporting our communities back to health.

Than you for your time and support.
