I'm a new Naturopathic Doctor coming back to my hometown of Portage la Prairie after finishing my education at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health Sciences in Tempe, Arizona. I want to facilitate health in my community and one of the best ways to do that is to get rid of obstacles to cure - not moving is a HUGE ONE!!! So, I'm so excited about having this community tool box as a resource to aid in getting my community healthy!
