- Through the professional clinic founded in 1976, and the many patient requests to learn the techniques that were healing them from a wide range of disorders, the school was formed in 1981 and called the New Center for Wholistic Health Education and Research. The school grew quickly as the community expressed greater interest in learning about the Eastern healing arts and their integration with Western medicine. An intensive college level curriculum was developed for Massage Therapy, and was approved by the New York State Board of Education in 1981, the first in the state. The program was approved by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York as a college degree program in 1996, the first independent degree in therapeutic bodywork in the United States.
- The Acupuncture program was approved by the New York State Board of Education in 1992, also the first such program approved in the state, and was accredited for Bachelor/Master degree status in 1998, along with the Oriental Medicine program. That same year the school changed its name to the New York College for Wholistic Health, Education and Research.
- Now located in an 70,000 square foot campus in Syosset, New York, as well as owning a 35-acre medical facility in Luo Yang, China, and approved to be called New York College of Health Professions in 2002, the school continues to be a leader and pioneer in the field of Holistic health.
- Within the facility are classrooms for all educational programs, Hatha Yoga, Qi Gong and T'ai Chi decks, the Integrative Health Center, the Academic Health Care Teaching Clinics, an herbal dispensary, the James and Lenore Jacobson Library, a café and bookstore, student study room and lounge, and executive and administrative offices.
