The 2nd Colorado Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine Expo · A Whole Person Health and Community Wellness Initiative

About This Event

The 2nd Colorado Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine Expo brings together practitioners, educators, healthcare professionals, wellness providers, community organizations, businesses, students, families, and the general public to explore Whole Person Health, prevention, healthy aging, and community wellness.

This year’s Expo is presented under the theme of the Colorado Whole Person Health Initiative, a growing effort to connect healthcare, education, public health, community organizations, researchers, wellness professionals, and integrative health partners across Colorado.
