Your Clinic's Mission

We provide acupuncture for all
Boise Acupuncture Co-op (BAC) is a non-profit, co-operative that provides a welcoming space where people come as they are and are empowered to heal side by side in community. Our mission is to provide quality, accessible community acupuncture to all peoples.
We envision
a world where resilient communities support each other to reduce isolation, process trauma, and ease collective and individual suffering.
We began
in 2014 with three women (hence the three birds in our logo) and a dream to provide accessible community acupuncture to all people. The founders envisioned a clinic large enough to support the communities' needs, and provide living wages for the employees. A year later, they converted to a non-profit to further increase our reach and to enable us to offer more programs to underserved populations.
They sought out a cooperative and non-hierarchical business structure to take the spirit of community acupuncture through the entire business model, officially adopting a sociocratic governance structure in 2019.


We've come a long way
In the first 5 years of business, BAC grew from 3 employees treating in a garage and 5 volunteers to 8 employees in a cozy community space with over 25 volunteers. In the first full year of service BAC gave 5,446 treatments. In 2019 we gave a total of 14,730 treatments. We have had to shrink our operations in our 6th year due to COVID-19, but nonetheless we are currently providing approximately 200 treatments per week! We offer treatments 7 days a week, 10am-7pm Sunday - Thursday and 10am-2pm Friday and Saturday.
