Dear Patients, Friends and Advocates:
We are making real progress in our effort to bring Prescriptive Authority to the Naturopathic profession!
The Public Health Committee has agreed to our request that they raise a bill for public hearing. The bill would give authority to the Commissioner of Public Health to develop a drug formulary that ND's could use. The proposed bill, HB 5294, can be linked to here.
This is a BIG deal, as we have never gotten this far so early in the session.
PLEASE NOTE
: The public hearing will be Monday March 5th. We
need
300 or more patients to write a letter to the Public Health Committee in support of the bill.
ACTION NEEDED NOW
: It is imperative that NDs, ND Students, ND Patients, Friends and Advocates write, call, fax and speak personally to MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH COMMITTEE. It is especially important to contact members of the PHC if you live in their district.
CLICK HERE FOR A LIST OF ALL PHC MEMBERS. IF YOUR TOWN IS LISTED, PLEASE CONTACT THE LEGISLATOR AND MAKE YOUR CASE FOR PASSING OUR BILL.

HOW DID WE GET HERE?
Five years of hard work by many people from UB, CNPA, our lobbyists, our patients & advocates, the UB Legislative delegation, legislators that know our value and support us, and lastly I give a big thank you to David Brady ND, Marcia Prenguber ND, and the UB community at large for their tireless work.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO GET ACROSS THE FINISH LINE. PLEASE ACT NOW AND OVER AND OVER UNTIL THE BILL GETS OUT OF THE PHC.
THANK YOU... YOUR HELP IS GREATLY, GREATLY APPRECIATED.
