Support Naturopathic Licensure in Michigan!

As many of you may know, Dr. Abigail has spent over a decade advocating for Licensing of Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) in Michigan. Currently, there are 26 US States and Territories that regulate Naturopathic Medicine, and we want Michigan to be the next!

There are a couple of ways you can helps support this effort:
1) Write your Legislators. HB5446 is currently in the House Health Policy Committee and we want to make sure all of the committee members know how much naturopathic medicine means to you! Use this link for more info: https://www.freshwatermi.com/letterofsupporthb5446
2)Consider a monetary donation to the Michigan Association of Naturopathic Doctors (MAND) to support our efforts in Lansing! https://michnd.org/donate/
