Move: Not only are Bastyr’s advanced naturopathic students receiving the best in clinical education, but they’re now receiving it in a new space especially designed to enhance their learning while meeting patient needs. In late February, the new, improved Bastyr Center for Natural Health (BCNH) opened its doors to appreciative patients and student clinicians alike. Located in a new, beautifully remodeled 32,000 square feet facility, BCNH is now in a space that better meets the unique needs of a medical clinic dedicated to natural health. 
The two-story structure boasts 40 patient care rooms, excellent air quality and natural lighting throughout, patient parking beneath the building, easy access for patients with special needs, a two-person sauna for therapeutic heat treatments, hydrotherapy rooms and other features designed to facilitate patient care and student training. Additionally, the newly built-out space incorporates environmentally friendly materials and systems, such as low-toxicity paints and adhesives, cork and marmoleum (an all-natural linoleum) floors, and an enhanced mechanical air-venting system. 
The largest natural health clinic in the Northwest, BCNH receives over 35,000 patient visits yearly. Clinical services include general naturopathic visits, nutrition counseling, homeopathy, physical medicine and mental health counseling, as well as acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine appointments. Says Jamey Wallace, ND, director of BCNH, “From the beginning, we wanted a beautiful yet functional teaching clinic, a site more conducive to delivering quality care. Our dreams have come true. Students will receive their training in the crown jewel of natural medicine clinical education. And patients will find a healing environment in a state-of-the-art facility.” Read more about the clinical training program at Bastyr University. |
