We Are The Florida Naturopathic Physicians Association
Founded in 1935, the Florida Naturopathic Physicians Association (FNPA) is the official statewide professional organization representing Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) in Florida. It serves as the active, unified voice for all those who support access to naturopathic medical care provided by licensed ND’s in the state of Florida. We believe a thriving naturopathic patient-centered medical profession will benefit Florida’s citizens. To this end, we invite professionals and citizens alike to join us in pursuit of our goals.
