Arkansans Deserve Access to Naturopathic Doctors – Now is the Time to Act!

Arkansans deserve access to naturopathic doctors (NDs) who look at health and disease through a whole-person lens and use natural therapies like nutrition, lifestyle medicine, herbal remedies, vitamins, minerals, homeopathy, and so much more!

Arkansans deserve the option of naturopathic medicine delivered by medically trained naturopathic doctors!

SB117, the Naturopathic Physician Practice Act, is our opportunity to change that. This bill would license naturopathic doctors in Arkansas, expanding healthcare options for all Arkansans.

How You Can Help

SB117 has passed out of the Senate Public Health Committee and is heading to a vote by the full Arkansas Senate on Monday, March 31st.

Why This Matters

Even though Arkansas has many wonderful healthcare professionals, there is still a gap in natural medicine care that only naturopathic doctors can fill. Licensing NDs would:

✔ Expand healthcare access, especially in underserved areas
✔ Provide more natural healthcare choices for Arkansans
✔ Support collaboration between NDs and other medical professionals
✔ Help recruit and retain highly trained natural medicine practitioners in the state

Special Thanks to Senator Flippo

If you live in Mountain Home or surrounding areas, your senator, Scott Flippo, voted to move SB117 forward in committee. If you reach out to him, please thank him for his support, ask for his continued support, and encourage him to speak in favor of SB117 when it reaches the Senate floor.

Help Us Make History!

This is a pivotal moment for natural medicine in Arkansas. Passing SB117 will positively impact healthcare for over 3 million people in this state!
