Advocating for Better Healthcare
I am a staunch advocate for a better, cheaper and more effective healthcare system in the United States. I believe that the naturopathic profession and a more integrative healthcare system in our country can help achieve a better system for patients. Over the years, I have held a variety of positions with my state and national associations advocating for the expansion and inclusion of naturopathic medicine in our system.
I served as VP of the New York Association of Naturopathic Medicine (NYANP), VP and President of Illinois Association of Naturopathic Physicians (ILANP) and Co-Chair of the State Alliance Committee of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP). I am also a past member of the Board of Medical Examiners for the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology, which oversees the FABNO credentialing process.
I served on the Board of Directors for the AANP in 2019 and 2020. I am a past Chair of the State and Federal Affairs committee of the AANP, a past member of the PR committee and Legislative and Advocacy Committee of the Oregon Association of Naturopathic Physicians (OANP). The focus of these committees is to promote awareness of naturopathic medicine and advocate for patient access to naturopathic medicine.
