Professional Acupuncture Response Team
PART's primary mission is to aid in the provision of professional
acupuncture and Asian bodywork treatments to emergency and disaster relief
workers, victims and their families, and to provide clinical and
organizational guidelines for local PART coordinators and practitioners.
Secondarily, PART aims to facilitate public awareness of the benefits of
acupuncture and Asian bodywork therapies by providing information to
organizations that may utilize our services.
For further information on P.A.R.T., please contact us at
info@nypart.org As you know, PART is ongoing in its activities and the
latest one is a large effort to organize all LAc's in NY to offer
complimentary treatment to people who continue to work at Ground Zero. Many
members of FDNY, etc. have developed what is now called the "WTC cough". We
have begun to put together a list of practitioners who can offer treatment
free of charge and will circulate this list to the hundreds of volunteers
and city employees over the next two weeks. If you are able to participate,
please forward your name, office address and contact information and what
days would be available. Please include whether you practice herbs in your
practice as well. You can send the information to
partvolunteer@yahoo.com , or fax it 201-386-1766. We will be sending a
mailing out to all practitioners in the State, but to get things rolling, we
are contacting everyone who volunteered at the Javits Center. Feel free to
pass this information on. I look forward to hearing from all of you! Hope
everyone is well.
Yours,
Kathy Taromina
