In late July 2010, Yo San University was notified that that the Henry L. Guenther Foundation has made a Grant to the University to support our partnership activities at the Pediatric Pain Unit at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA).
The Guenther Foundation is a Century City based private foundation that focuses on organizations that provide health care services. The grant will help cover YSU’s 2010 expenses at CHLA and will assure that the services at CHLA, which have been recently expanded to a second shift, will continue uninterrupted.
The Pediatric Pain unit at CHLA, headed by psychologist, Jeff Gold, Ph.D., serves primarily indigent children who suffer from a wide range of pain symptoms including those arising from conditions such as cancer, fybromyalgia, headaches, musculoskeletal pain, rheumatoid conditions and Sickle Cell disease.
Through this program YSU interns at both the master’s and doctoral degree levels gain valuable supervised experience in the use of acupuncture for the treatment of a wide range of pain conditions.
Supervisors at the CHLA site include YSU Clinical Faculty members, Brandon Horn, L.Ac. and Wing, Ben Deng, L.Ac. YSU is forever grateful to the Guenther Foundation for its foresight and generosity in designating the University for this important grant.
