Bastyr University

Bastyr University was established as the John Bastyr College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1978 in Seattle, Washington (USA) by Sheila Quinn, Joseph Pizzorno, ND, LM; William Mitchell, ND; and Les Griffith, ND, LM. It is named after John Bastyr, a pioneering naturopathic physician and chiropractor in the Seattle area who was instrumental in keeping interest in naturopathic medicine alive through the 1960s. It is one of seven accredited naturopathic medical schools and has offered baccalaureate, masters and doctoral degree programs since 1989. In 1984, the school was renamed Bastyr College, and in 1994, it became Bastyr University. Bastyr offers degree programs in naturopathic medicine, nutrition, acupuncture and Oriental medicine, exercise science and wellness, health psychology, integrated human biology, midwifery, nutrition and clinical health psychology, and herbal sciences. And offers certificate programs in Chinese herbal medicine and holistic landscape design (permaculture). In 1996, Bastyr relocated to its current location in the Saint Thomas Center, a former Catholic seminary building in the Inglewood-Finn Hill neighborhood of Kenmore, Washington. Its campus is almost completely surrounded by Saint Edward State Park's dense fir and hemlock forest. In November, 2005, the university completed the purchase of this property, which it had been leasing from the Archdiocese of Seattle. Bastyr also operates a natural medicine clinic, Bastyr Center for Natural Health, in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood. The clinic offers naturopathic medicine, acupuncture and Oriental medicine, nutrition counseling, Chinese herbal medicine, and more, and treats many types of health conditions.
