DENVER, CO, UNITED STATES, October 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Colorado Chinese Medicine University (CCMU), Colorado’s oldest institution dedicated to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), celebrates its 35th anniversary this year with great pride. Since its founding in 1990, CCMU has played a crucial role in shaping the future of holistic healthcare and wellness in Colorado and beyond, developing highly skilled practitioners and offering a bridge between Eastern wellness traditions and modern integrative medicine.— Tao Zhou, CEO of CCMU
For three decades, CCMU has progressed from a small college into a nationally recognized university offering master’s, doctoral and advanced doctoral programs. Its Advanced Doctorate in Classical Chinese Medicine, the first of its kind in the world to center on the concept of Qi, embodies the institution's commitment to prioritizing balance and vitality through a comprehensive approach including acupuncture, herbal medicine, moxibustion and modalities of music therapy.
“This milestone is celebrating 35 years of growth while reflecting on the importance of reaffirming our responsibility to the communities we serve,” said Tao Zhou, CEO of CCMU. “Traditional Chinese Medicine has never been more relevant. As people seek holistic and preventative approaches to health, CCMU is here to lead with knowledge, compassion and innovation.”
The university’s influence extends well beyond the classrooms. Thousands of alumni are currently practicing across the United States, bringing holistic, whole-person care to communities and expanding access to complementary medicine. CCMU’s public clinics provide affordable, high-quality care to Coloradans, while its research initiatives and international collaborations advance the global dialogue around integrative medicine.
The anniversary year also included recognition from state leadership. Governor Jared Polis joined CCMU in acknowledging the university’s long-standing contributions to education, wellness and integrative care during one of its celebratory events.
Looking ahead, CCMU remains committed to its guiding philosophy of “Preserving the Classics, Integrating Innovation.” As part of this vision, the university will host the inaugural Colorado Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine Expo on October 18-19, 2025. The event will unite Eastern and Western healthcare leaders, practitioners and the public for education, cultural exchange and community care positioning Colorado as a national hub for integrative wellness innovation.
