Including NDs in Health Care Reform: What AANP is
Doing and What You Can Do
Finally I can start answering the phone again. It turns out that living in a swing state Virginia in my case - makes you very popular around election time, so popular in fact that

doubt that the results will affect the delivery of health care in our country. With President

2013 AANP Conference Blog: Colorado Att(Alt)itude
Jacob Schor, ND, FABNO, AANP Conference Speaker Selection Committee Chair, explains
the Coloradan attitude, altitude and culture. The naturopathic physicians in Colorado are
looking forward to hosting you in their home state July 2013.
In preparation for the AANP Conference in Keystone in 2013, I am
obligated to tell you a few things about Colorado. Here, in Colorado, we
often interchange two words: altitude and attitude. Both seem to inform our
worldview to equal measure. I've been trying to get a grip on this perception
of things for the 21 years my wife and I have lived here. First off, it is really
all about altitude. Denver is, literally, a mile-high city. Halfway up the
staircase that leads to the Capitol Building is an elevation marker: 5,280
feet above sea level. Click here to read the full blog.
