Congratulations to Pacific College alumna Dr. Kerry Boyle, DAc, LAc, a 2020 graduate of PCHS’ online Doctorate Completion Program (“transitional doctorate”), who has been named the 2024 Vermont State Small Business Person of the Year!
In 2008, Dr. Boyle founded her practice, Integrative Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, in Vermont. Since then, they’ve expanded to three locations and serve approximately 300 patients weekly.
