OANDs Policy Priorities
Leverage the skills and expertise of Naturopathic Doctors in new and existing models of integrated care teams to address the growing burden of chronic illness, fill gaps in the provision of women’s health and improve access for high-needs populations. Modernize regulations to expand NDs’ prescribing rights and lab access so they can better support patient
OAND Advocacy Day at Queen’s Park, November 2nd 2025:
Ontario’s health system is facing unprecedented pressures — rapid population growth, rising chronic disease, and limited access to primary care. Over 2.3 million Ontarians without access to a primary care provider. Women’s health needs remain unmet, chronic disease continues to escalate, and high-needs communities face persistent barriers.
With 1,700+ Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) across Ontario trained in prevention, chronic disease management, diagnostics, lifestyle medicine, and pharmacology — yet remain an underutilized health workforce.
On November 2, 2025, OAND and Naturopathic Doctors from across the province met with MPPs and leaders from all four political parties to share one message:
Integrating NDs into team-based primary care means better access, better outcomes, and better health for Ontarians.
The time for innovation — and integration — is now.
