About the New Jersey Association of Naturopathic Physicians (NJANP)
The New Jersey Association of Naturopathic Physicians (NJANP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, established in 2018, dedicated to advancing naturopathic medicine in our state. We represent naturopathic doctors who have completed a four-year, graduate-level naturopathic medical program accredited by the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME). As a charitable and educational organization, we exist to promote safe, effective, and cost-conscious approaches to preventing and treating disease, and to help integrate naturopathic medicine into New Jersey’s broader health care landscape.
​
Our work centers on four core aims: Awareness, Access, Licensure, and Support. We educate the public and legislators about what naturopathic medicine is and its applications, expand access to natural wellness and preventative care by connecting New Jersey residents with qualified naturopathic doctors, and advocate for state regulation and licensure to ensure clear standards and accountability. At the same time, we support naturopathic physicians practicing in New Jersey, so this form of medicine grows sustainably and remains available as a high-quality option for individuals and families across the state.
Our Mission & Vision
Mission
The New Jersey Association of Naturopathic Physicians (NJANP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing naturopathic medicine in New Jersey. Our mission is to achieve regulation and licensure for naturopathic doctors who have completed a four-year, CNME-recognized naturopathic medical program, while educating the public and legislators about the role of naturopathic medicine in providing safe, effective, and cost-conscious care in New Jersey. We work to expand access to natural wellness and preventative health options, connect New Jersey residents with qualified naturopathic doctors, and support our members so the profession can thrive.
Vision
We envision a New Jersey where licensed naturopathic doctors are fully integrated into the healthcare system, providing evidence-informed, preventative, and whole-person care that complements conventional medicine. In this future, every resident has access to naturopathic care; policymakers and the public understand the value of naturopathic medicine in addressing chronic disease; and a strong, supported community of naturopathic doctors helps sustain the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities across the state.
