MANCHESTER, NH – Manchester Acupuncture Studio is pleased to announce that it has changed it’s business structure from a corporation to a 501(c)3 non-profit.
The decision to change the legal structure of the business from a for-profit to a non-profit was based on several factors. As it turns out, all of them are about MAS providing an opportunity to continue to do its work for decades to come, while not relying on a particular person or persons to make this possible, legally speaking.
What makes MAS different than typical acupuncture clinics is our group treatment setting and our affordable sliding scale. MAS is the oldest clinic of it’s kind in New Hampshire. We are part of a bigger movement around the country of acupuncturists doing this work. There are community clinics now in Portsmouth, Keene, and Dover. We promote each others clinics because the goal is to make acupuncture more accessible.
MAS will not be raising our affordable sliding scale of $15-$35 per treatment. We charge as little as we can and we haven’t raised our prices in 10-plus years, and we have no plans to do so. Our front desk staff and practitioners remain committed to our overall mission: ongoing work to expand availability of acupuncture in Manchester and Nashua-area communities by increasing clinic hours and bringing on additional qualified, passionate acupuncturists. We also continue our affiliation with The People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture, a multi-stakeholder cooperative whose mission to make acupuncture affordable and accessible to as many people as possible.
