Hospice from a Naturopathic Lens with CDPHE

When: Thursday, November 30 | 2:00pm - 3:00pm MT

Many fields of Western medicine have begun incorporating integrative therapies alongside more conventional practices, including within the field of hospice. Naturopathic doctors who have a background in both Western and integrative medicine are well-positioned to assist hospice teams and practitioners with a unique understanding of this shift as it relates to end-of-life and palliative care. This presentation, Hospice from a Naturopathic Lens, will discuss who naturopathic physicians are, the intersections of hospice care and naturopathic medicine, possible roles naturopathic doctors could play within hospice, various integrative therapies for common conditions, and finally, a short summary of the hospice survey process.

Presenter Information: Emily Keranen, ND is a health compliance inspector. Prior to joining the Colorado Department of Public Health (CDPHE), she worked as a physician in Arizona, with a focus on integrative thyroid medicine. In her spare time, she enjoys trail running, hiking, and triathlons.
