2023 Assembly Joint Resolution 45
ENROLLED JOINT RESOLUTION
Relating to: proclaiming May 2023 as Naturopathic Medicine Month in Wisconsin.
Whereas, naturopathic medicine provides noninvasive, holistic treatments that support the
inherent self−healing capacity of the human body and encourage self−responsibility in health care; and
Whereas, naturopathic doctors attend four−year, graduate−level programs with rigorous
admissions requirements at institutions that are recognized by the U.S. Department of Education; and
Whereas, naturopathic doctors are especially skilled in treating chronic illnesses, such as
diabetes, asthma, autoimmune disorders, and gastrointestinal disorders, because of their focus on
whole−body medicine rather than symptom management; and
Whereas, the designation of Naturopathic Medicine Month promotes awareness and recognizes
the value of naturopathic medicine and providing safe, effective, and affordable health care; now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the assembly, the senate concurring, That the legislature hereby proclaims May
2023 to be Naturopathic Medicine Month in Wisconsin.
