The idea of creating a holistic center of medicine emerged from a research study organized by Albert Einstein University in an attempt to quantify the efficacy of acupuncture on patients suffering from muculo-skeletal disorders. As a Pacific College of Oriental Medicine intern, Brian Salazar, worked at the 2 of the 3 Montefiore Clinics, treating hundreds of patients. When the study ended in August 2011, so did the treatment of all the participants of the study, thus creating a great need for a clinic for continuation of care through acupuncture.
August 2011:
Bronx Community Wellness Center was Incorporated and the planning began to create the holistic center of medicine.
May 2012:
After months of planning, fund-raising, and preparation, the Bronx Community Wellness Center opened its doors on May 16th, 2012.
From it's conception, to its birth, the clinic would not be here if it were not for the help and support of so many people that believed in us.
Established in 2012.
