A New Leader for the California Campus

We were delighted to spread the word about the new Vice President of Bastyr University California Moira Fitzpatrick, PhD, ND, FICPP, CHT, after Dr. Church made the announcement at the Spring for Health Luncheon.

Dr. Fitzpatrick has extremely relevant credentials, as a University trustee and a principal at Emerald Center for Integrative Medicine in Seattle. Here's more from the news release:

“I am honored and excited to lead and be a part of the team at Bastyr University California,” said Dr. Fitzpatrick. “I stand on the shoulders of Dr. Bastyr, the founders of Bastyr University and my teachers, and know that education is the way to not only keep natural medicine alive but also to nourish and support its continual evolution. Let us work together to transform the health of the human community.” 

Dr. Fitzpatrick has a BA in developmental psychology from UC Davis, an MA and PhD in clinical psychology from California School of Professional Psychology and a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree from Bastyr University.
