9.4.2021, updated 6.30.2022

Come join our HHP discussion platform! We launched our community discussion onto a new platform, Mighty Networks, in late August 2021.

Invitation

You are welcome to join the discussion if you are a fan of the HHP/interested in our work AND:

• you are an acupuncture/integrative health student or educator interested in our work

• you are a prospective practitioner interested in healthcare system based practice

• you are currently a hospital or healthcare system based LAc or program manager

• you are a researcher looking to connect with hospital or healthcare system based LAcs and program managers

Community discussion rules of respectful discussion and dialogue apply.

Please read all the “welcome” messages and rules before you engage in discussion.

Why We Love Our New Platform

The new HHP discussion group(s) are hosted on the Mighty Networks platform.
It works similar to Facebook except:

• It allows discussion threads to be tied into our more robust resources (pdf, audio, video) on our Teachable platform

• It more easily ties in events and links

• It is not subject to the whims and algorithm changes of Facebook. Oofda. That's been time-consuming for me (admin) to keep up with.

• You don't need a Facebook or LinkedIn account to join. But, if you want to use those accounts to join, the Mighty Networks platform allows you to do that.

• You create your own profile based on your interests and topics related to why you are joining the HHP discussion platform and network.

Options for joining 

Two options for joining the new community discussion platform

Per community request, there are 2 tiers. Please see the community discussion landing page for the latest updates on the benefits available to each plan (Tier 1 or Tier 2).

   • Access to the general discussion platform for all community members

2. Tier 2 Big Bundle. This is the premium plan. Includes access to all of Tier 1 plus access to deep-dive resources and some discussion groups.

   • This tier is intended for hospital and healthcare system-based LAcs, their program managers, and their hospital sponsors (program managers, research connections)

A video tour of the HHP’s community discussion platform landing page and a review of benefits comparison of Tier 1 “General Access” vs. Tier 2 “Big Bundle Premium Plan.” I hope you find this helpful. (Video added to this post in early summer 2022.)

As of 9.7.2021, both tiers of the HHP discussion platform include a copy of HHP’s Summary of the Community’s Program and Research Citations.
