NYANP Lobby Day 2027
Make Your Voice Heard. Help Shape the Future of Naturopathic Medicine in New York.
Tuesday, February 9, 2027 | Albany, New York
The future of naturopathic medicine in New York depends on all of us!
Join the New York Association of Naturopathic Physicians (NYANP) for Lobby Day 2027 in Albany as we come together to advocate for naturopathic doctor licensure in New York State.
This is an opportunity to meet with state legislators and their staff, share why licensure matters, educate policymakers about naturopathic medicine, and demonstrate the growing support for our profession.
Whether you are a practicing naturopathic doctor, a recent graduate, a current student, a patient, or a supporter of naturopathic medicine, your voice matters, and your presence makes a difference.
Why Participate?
New York remains one of the states without naturopathic doctor licensure. Establishing licensure would help expand access to naturopathic medicine, recognize qualified providers, and give New Yorkers greater access to the care they deserve.
Lobby Day is one of our most important opportunities to put a face to our profession and build relationships with the legislators who will help shape its future.
In 2026, NYANP participants held 17 legislative meetings in Albany. In 2027, we want to build on that momentum and make an even greater impact!
What to Expect
Participants will have the opportunity to:
Meet with New York State legislators and their staff.
Share personal stories about the importance of naturopathic medicine.
Learn more about the current licensure legislation and NYANP's advocacy strategy.
Connect with fellow naturopathic doctors, students, and supporters.
Help build awareness and support for naturopathic doctor licensure.
No previous advocacy or lobbying experience is necessary! NYANP will help prepare participants with talking points, background information, and guidance for legislative meetings.
