What is the mission of the OANP?
The mission of the OANP is to support our members and improve the health of the public through the advancement of Naturopathic Medicine. We strive to serve the naturopathic profession and community through a commitment to excellence. Here’s a snapshot of what OANP does:
Legislative Advocacy: The OANP represents the interests of its members before state legislative and federal government bodies. The OANP has an active presence in Salem among Oregon’s lawmakers as well as various Oregon government agencies. In order to promote the profession of Naturopathic Medicine, the OANP works to educate legislators, monitor legislation, and advocate for or defend against bills that affect the scope of practice of naturopathic physicians.
Continuing Education: Access to continuing education for naturopathic physicians and other health care professionals.
Public Outreach: The OANP provides education for the public about naturopathic medicine and connects the public to NDs through referrals to qualified member physicians. We also work with government officials and insurers to improve access to naturopathic insurance coverage across the state.
