Giving-back

At Gotham Acupuncture, we believe that service and education are essential to healing. Giving back is part of who we are — supporting communities through international aid, affordable education, and local wellness initiatives.

Guatemala Section

International Aid – Guatemala

For more than a decade, Dr. Peter Caron has volunteered in Guatemala, bringing free acupuncture and holistic care to underserved communities. Through the Global Healthworks Foundation, he has provided thousands of treatments to individuals who would otherwise have no access to healthcare — helping ease pain, restore balance, and improve quality of life.

This October 2025, Dr. Caron will return to Guatemala once again to serve indigenous communities. With your support, we can continue to bring healing and hope where it's needed most.

NYAE Section

New York Acupuncture Education (NYAE)

Founded by Dr. Peter Caron, New York Acupuncture Education (NYAE) was created to provide the best possible training for the next generation of acupuncturists. Many new graduates enter the field without the confidence or hands-on skills they need — and that's where NYAE steps in.

Through low-cost, high-quality teaching clinics and courses, students gain practical experience, mentorship, and community support. Patients benefit from affordable care, while students grow into confident, capable healers prepared to thrive in practice.
