We’re at a turNiNg poiNt. We Need your support.

CCnM and the practice of naturopathic medicine are at a critical turning point. recent scientific advances, new technologies and inspired research mean that we understand more about the human body than ever before, including its relationship to our environment and the complex factors that contribute to wellness. naturopathic doctors are working collaboratively with a variety of health care professionals to improve health outcomes and reduce costs to the health-care system.

We’ve accomplished a great deal, yet there is still much more work to be done. this is our impetus for the launch of the CCnM turning point Campaign. We aim to raise $7 million in charitable and sponsorship contributions to advance evidence-driven research, attract and support more students and grow our collaborations with the health-care community.

By partnering with companies like you, we will take important steps toward realizing our shared vision of a world where naturopathic medicine is an integral part of health care.

in this publication, we detail the sponsorship opportunities available, along with the many benefits of an investment in CCnM, including the ability to raise awareness about your organization among our students, faculty and alumni.

i thank you for your consideration and look forward to receiving news of your commitment.
