  38. NGHC – the formation

  39. Who are the members? • Volunteer responders to the crisis in Haiti met in Portland, OR. in April 2010 . • They proposed establishment of this council to gather the expertise of the community to respond to the disaster in Haiti. • Since this area is fairly new to our profession – it was important for this group to respond with caution, preparedness and with the larger picture of this profession in mind. • These volunteer leaders have brought the idea to you today:

  40. Naturopathic Global Health Council The Formation:
