Of all the services offered at the Cancer Partnership, acupuncture is one of the most often requested. Studies show that acupuncture can help relieve cancer’s symptoms, as well as the side effects of treatment itself. Both patients and their referring oncologists seek the service to battle cancer from every angle.
A collaboration between the Partnership and Bastyr University, a national leader in natural health arts and sciences education and research, makes the best acupuncture accessible to Snohomish County residents. Several students from Bastyr’s doctoral program in traditional Chinese medicine travel to the Partnership to provide acupunctural services.
