Naturopathic doctors in Hawaii need your help! Hawaiian legislative bill SB257 has passed the senate. If approved, this bill would revoke prescription rights for Hawaiian NDs. There is a hearing about the bill scheduled Thursday and written testimony from NDs, patients and colleagues is urgently requested.
This is a serious concern to NDs in Hawaii, one of the more liberal allied states toward naturopathic medicine, but it may become a precedent that could lead toward national requirements for supervisory prescriptive rights by medical doctors for all NDs in the U.S..
We are asking you to help us by signing the attached template for an opposed testimony or using it to create personal testimony. Testimony is due by 10:30 a.m. tomorrow, Wednesday, 2/19.
Please help! Your naturopathic colleagues in Hawaii will be very grateful.
Mahalo nui loa!!
