Scenes from the John Bastyr Centennial Celebration Kick-Off

A year of activity and excitement kicked off Wednesday night with a reception honoring a century of naturopathic medicine thanks to our own Dr. John Bastyr, who would have turned 100 this year. The turnout was a great mix of Bastyr figures past and present, community members, supporters and students.

The community raised their glasses during a toast to the John Bastyr centennial celebration.

The Dining Commons staff prepared a delicious variety of foods.

Founders, Drs. Joseph Pizzorno and Les Griffith, attended.

Guests socialized in the Chapel.

President Daniel K. Church addressed the crowd, and spoke eloquently about our efforts to bring naturopathic medicine to California.
