Bastyr University(May 4, 2009) - This week, over 100 naturopathic physicians and their supporters gather in Washington, D.C., in support of H. CON. RES. 58, which advocates that our health care system focus on health, rather than disease.
According to Karen Howard, Executive Director of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP), “Today, our definition of ‘wellness’ is limited to drug screening, vaccinations, and other preventative strategies such as drug therapy, but we drastically undervalue how changing behavior can prevent disease. If the nation is to move past the current health care crisis, we must adopt a patient-centered health care model that will restore and maintain optimal health.”
