Alliance of Chinese Medicine Association (ACMA)

Advancing balanced, evidence-informed, and people-centered perspectives on health through education, research support, community initiatives, and constructive public dialogue related to Chinese medicine and integrative health.

ACMA is a U.S. federally recognized 501(c ) (3) nonprofit organization..
Our activities are non-clinical and non-invasive. We do not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, patient care, or clinical services.

Our Mission

The Alliance of Chinese Medicine Association (ACMA) is dedicated to advancing public understanding, responsible integration, and thoughtful exploration of Chinese medicine and integrative health within modern healthcare and public health systems.

We operate at the intersection of education, research support, community engagement, and policy-relevant dialogue, with a commitment to methodological transparency, ethical responsibility, and respect for diverse medical traditions.

What We Do

Education & Public Outreach

ACMA develops and shares educational programs and resources that support health literacy, preventive thinking, and informed public understanding of Chinese medicine and integrative health practices.

Community Health Initiatives

ACMA engages with communities to support prevention- and self-care–oriented learning initiatives that encourage balanced daily habits, sustainability, and informed personal responsibility for health.

Research & Innovation Support

ACMA supports ethically conducted, non-clinical, non-invasive, and descriptive research approaches related to integrative health. Our focus is on methodological clarity, observational frameworks, feasibility exploration, and research literacy—not on diagnosis, treatment, or therapeutic efficacy evaluation.

Policy & Professional Dialogue

ACMA provides a neutral nonprofit platform for constructive dialogue related to standards, regulation, and the future development of integrative healthcare, with an emphasis on clarity, responsibility, and public interest.

Our Guiding Principles

  • Health is a dynamic balance, not a fixed state
  • Education and prevention are foundational to public health
  • Scientific methods are essential, but not exclusive, paths to understanding health
  • Respectful coexistence of diverse medical traditions strengthens society
  • Ethical responsibility and transparency guide all ACMA activities

ACMA is committed to serving the public interest through education, research support, and open dialogue. Our work is intended to support research literacy and responsible exploration, and to complement—never replace—the role of licensed healthcare professionals.
