Governor appoints herbalist to Naturopathic Advisory Council

Kansans have a wide range of options for health care, and to help ensure they receive quality care, Governor Kathleen Sebelius has appointed Daphne Roberts to serve on the Naturopathic Advisory Council.

“Kansans deserve to be treated by competent, knowledgeable health care professionals,” said Sebelius. “Councils such as this one play an important role in protecting public health, safety and welfare.”

The Naturopathic Advisory Council advises the Board of Healing Arts in carrying out the provisions of the Naturopathic Doctor Registration Act. Roberts will serve a three-year term.

Roberts, Bird City, received a Master of Arts in herbology. She has professional experience in teaching and writing.
