NEWS In an unexpected turn of events, I stumbled into an opportunity that I couldn't pass up!
Beginning Nov. 27th, I will be expanding my services to a different clinic, three hours north of the Bay. Long story short, I'm going to be taking over Coast Family Acupuncture, a clinic in Fort Bragg, Mendocino county.
This means I will be spending a majority of the week up in Mendocino BUT! I'll still be offering acupuncture at 6536 Telegraph in Oakland on Saturdays.
I want to reassure everyone that my commitment to your health and well-being remains unwavering. I understand the importance of continuity and consistency in your acupuncture treatments, and hope to make this transition as seamless as possible.
I deeply value the relationships we've built, and your health is of the upmost importance to me. If you have any questions, concerns, etc., about this transition, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to continuing our wellness journey together! -EJ
EJ Fry Acupuncture is committed to antiracism. As a health care provider and small business owner, I feel it’s my responsibility to use whatever visibility my privilege affords me to voice my commitment to antiracism. Undoing racism isn’t just repeating slogans or changing our profile picture. We need to identify what racism is, learn about how we perpetuate it, and dismantle it. Our institutions are such a huge factor in sustaining racism. Therefore they can have as powerful an impact on the dismantling of racism, if they actively do so through antiracist policies. A racist idea holds the belief that one group of people, based on their race, is inferior to another group. One insidious way that racist ideas are maintained is by inaction against racist policies. If we don’t actively dismantle racist policies, we are only helping to sustain racism. Despite our claims of passivity or neutrality, we become upholders of oppression. Simply put, a racist policy is a policy that yields racial inequity. By contrast, an antiracist policy is a policy that yields racial equality. EJ Fry Acupuncture’s goal is to actively participate in antiracism through instigation of antiracist policies.
The mission of EJ Fry Acupuncture is to provide its patients, regardless of race, sexual orientation, age, gender, religion, nationality or class, with compassionate and competent health care rooted in the modalities of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as outlined in classic texts such as the Huang Di Nei Jing, Nan Jing, and Shang Han Lun.
