"Naturopathic medicine is one part science, one part art, and one part politics." ~ John Bastyr, DC, ND

The WANP is the active voice for naturopathic medicine in state legislation and policy-making.  This is essential for our profession to grow and mature and is a primary benefit of membership.  Our broad scope of practice and recognition as primary care physicians in Washington is directly due to the involvement and advocacy efforts of the WANP.

The WANP works to raise public and political awareness of naturopathic medicine in Washington State. We endeavor to gain support for issues such as insurance reimbursement parity, the protection and advancement of naturopathic scope of practice, and the promotion of our medicine to provide sustainability and increased growth for our profession.

The WANP is our professional community in Washington.  Creating a public presence for our profession and unifying our voices is more powerful and effective than going it alone.   It is much easier to hear the voices of all the NDs in the state, united around our common goals than to hear the whispers of individuals and their patients.

Your support enables us to provide you the following benefits:

• Legislative and regulatory representation in Olympia.
• Your practice profile on FindaNaturalDoctor.com. (For professional members)
• WANP members-only Facebook group.

And that is only the beginning. Remember: your active participation in the WANP will bring your specific concerns to the forefront and help shape the development of our profession. There is no greater way to influence the future of naturopathic medicine than to get involved with your most committed peers and partners.
