Acupuncturists of Hawaii
Advancing the practice, integrity, and accessibility of acupuncture and East Asian medicine in Hawaiʻi.
What We Do
Support Licensed Acupuncturists
We represent and support licensed acupuncturists across Hawaiʻi through professional advocacy, education, and community connection. Our work helps practitioners maintain high standards of care and long-term sustainability in practice.
Protect Public Health & Safety
We promote safe, ethical, and effective acupuncture and East Asian medicine by upholding licensing standards, scope of practice, and professional accountability, so the public can access care with confidence.
Advocate for the Profession
We engage in legislative and regulatory advocacy to protect the rights of licensed practitioners and ensure continued access to acupuncture and East Asian medicine throughout Hawaiʻi.
Our Mission & Values
Every initiative we launch is crafted to strengthen communities and steward resources responsibly. By sharing transparent insights and actionable guidance, we aim to multiply good work and spark collaboration across causes and continents.
Transparency & Stewardship
We treat every donation, whether it’s a single coin in a collection jar or a seven-figure grant, with the same rigorous care. Detailed impact reports, quarterly independent audits, and real-time project dashboards allow supporters to trace each dollar from receipt to result.
By publishing success metrics and setbacks side-by-side, we make room for honest dialogue, faster course-corrections, and deeper trust between our team, our partners, and the communities we serve.
Inclusive Collaboration
Sustainable change only happens when those most affected help design the solution. Before launching any program we convene listening circles, translate materials into local languages, and invite community leaders, youth advocates, and elders to co-create project goals.
We also forge cross-sector partnerships, pairing NGOs with small businesses, universities, and faith groups, because diverse expertise sparks innovation and ensures that our programs respect cultural context while scaling effectively. .
Lifelong Service
Charity is not a single event; it’s a lifelong rhythm of empathy in action. We nurture that rhythm through mentorship pipelines and hands-on training that equip volunteers to grow from one-time helpers into seasoned servant-leaders. Workshops on trauma-informed care and systemic advocacy empower people to address root causes, not just symptoms.
By celebrating service milestones and providing ongoing educational resources, we foster a global network committed to transforming compassion into enduring, generational impact.
