Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors

Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors The Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND) champions the success of NDs and the health of Ontarians.

The economic and social environment is changing significantly for associations and to ensure ongoing relevance, sustainability and effectiveness, the OAND will be focusing its attention on creating stability and innovation to serve its members. Creating a strong community for NDs in Ontario, ensuring ongoing high value for membership and continuing to maintain transparency with members and other stakeholders are cornerstones to strengthening the organization.

This week at the Nurse Practitioners' Association of Ontario conference, our CEO Jennifer Joseph had the opportunity to connect with:

The Honourable Sylvia Jones — Deputy Premier & Minister of Health
Dr. Karima Velji — ADM & Chief of Nursing & Professional Practice, Ontario Ministry of Health
Dr. Michelle Acorn — CEO, Nurse Practitioners’ Association of Ontario
Mike Schreiner — Leader, Green Party of Ontario

A rare chance to engage with both elected leaders and senior public servants in the same room — thanks to our partners at NPAO for making this possible.

We’re inspired by the momentum to advance the role of Naturopathic Doctors in Ontario’s health system.
