Our Mission

Free Range Health is a nonprofit charity providing access to low-cost acupuncture and East Asian medicine to underserved individuals and communities.

Our History

Free Range Health was founded by Cole Alexander in 2012. His dream to create a decentralized approach to providing low-cost integrative and alternative medicine services to low-income individuals, homebound patients and their caregivers, rural communities, and native communities is the driving force behind our mission.

With the generous support of amazing individuals and organizations, Free Range Health is on its way to being a model of efficient and effective health care delivery for the 21st Century.

In the past 3 years, more than 400 patients have received over 3500 low-cost treatments at one of the 4 area senior centers hosting a weekly community acupuncture clinic. Treatments have been in the homes of patients unable to leave due to health reasons, and they have been in rural communities where the nearest services are too far to access easily.

We are committed to introducing more communities to the amazing health benefits of integrative health care and to being a model of low-cost, decentralized delivery of medicine for the modern world.

Thank you very much for giving me the proper treatments. In 2013 I started taking acupuncture by Cole Alexander and Kristan Rutski. Cole Alexander instilled his medical training and experience for new patients. I have been very happy with the results. A history of nerve damage on both feet, has been alleviated by proper treatments. Also, due to right shoulder pain caused by over used during my work situation, Cole and Kristan has reduced the pain quite considerably. I plan to continue my treatments.

P.S. I've cut back on same pain pills as prescribed by my doctor.

I am very pleased with the treatments I've had. I have very little or most of the time no pain in my knee - which a doctor previously recommended a knee replacement, that I don't want at my age.

I am totally satisfied with the treatment I have received. I have had pain in my left SI for 4 plus years. I'd tried PT, massage and Chiropractic care but it did not help. After 2 sessions I was pain free in that area. I did have to have another session after my husband taught me how to run a weed eater but it's feeling better again. I am currently trying herbs and acupuncture to help my insomnia. I am a very happy patient!! I have been recommending to everyone I come in contact with.

I am a 79 year old patient and I have had (6) six treatments. I highly recommend using acupuncture treatment for two above medical issues. My knee pain & stiffness have greatly improved. I am once again able to walk & play golf with very little discomfort.

I have had asthma since childhood. My asthma has been controlled by using prescription drugs. Acupuncture treatment has dramatically reduced my use of these drugs.

I will continue acupuncture treatment whenever I feel it is necessary.

I have received acupuncture for the last couple of months for my feet and also TMJ. When I started my jaw hurt so I couldn't chew meat and it made a popping sound. It is so much better now and only hurt occasionally. My feet are improving also. I think acupuncture is a good solution to many health problems. I would and do recommend it to anybody for all kinds of ailments.

I began receiving treatment from Cole Alexander in late February of this year. Due to years of pain and steadily decreasing function, I was scheduled to have my (L) knee replaced in the first week of May. Because of the arthritic pain in my knee, I was having difficulty getting from sitting to standing without having to use my arms to do the work. After only two sessions of acupuncture, my knee was pain free and I was able to cancel the surgery. I had also had an issue with pain and hypersensitivity on the bottom of my foot. After about five session, those sensations were greatly decreased. I received acupuncture once a week for seven weeks. The treatment even helped my chronic shoulder pains. I now schedule appointments whenever I "need a tune up", which is usually every three to four weeks. I am now able to function better than I have in the past five years! I am again enjoying walks as well as working in my garden at home. I am extremely grateful for Cole's care. He is very calm and empathetic and is able to focus his treatment according to each person's specific needs. If you are having pain issues, especially chronic, long term pain, I highly recommend you try acupuncture with Cole.

For several years I had numbness on the lateral side of both legs. After 2-3 acupuncture sessions I began to feel results. Now it is all most gone. At night I still feel a little numbness. Also I had severe pain in my neck and I had developed spasms in a muscle "trapezius" on the left. After 2 treatments I now only have an occassional spasm. I am very pleased with Dr. Alexander.

He was professional in his explanations of the procedures that he was performing and also very detailed. I have recommended him to my friends and will continue to do that.
