ATTENTION friends, family, and colleagues!
NY naturopathic doctors really need your help right now. We are pushing for licensure in 2021 so that we can expand our scope of practice and help people get the care they want and need!! If COVID-19 taught us anything it is that chronic disease can put you at risk for many detrimental health issues. Naturopathic doctors EXCEL at treating chronic disease, many of which can be reversed... like type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension.. just to name a few. During this pandemic, I could have been helping and administering testing but the state of NY does not recognize my medical degree. I sat back and felt useless.
Expanded scope of practice would allow us to:
1. Perform physical exams and testing (such as covid tests, strep tests, mono tests, flu tests in office )
2. Diagnose patients
3. Run necessary labs
4. Accept health insurance so that people do not have to pay out of pocket.
5. Provide natural, safe and effective medicine to everyone
What we need:
1. Public support (Those in NY please fill out this simple form http://www.nyanp.org/find-a.../licensure-efforts/)
2. Support from medical professionals- especially those in NY. If you are a nurse, medical assistant, medical doctor, chiropractor, acupuncturist.. anything. A letter with your support is vital with your professional letterhead.
3. Those who are patients of NDs in licensed states and who have benefited from their scope of practice. Your experience in the form of a letter would be incredibly helpful so that we can teach these legislators what we are capable of!
4. If you are currently my patient or a patient of an ND- a testimonial is ALWAYS helpful.
You can message me directly or email me with your letters or questions.
