New Medical Resource Listing on Site

UBPN would like to direct your attention to our newly posted Medical Resource Listing. It can be reached from the home page of this website.

Description:
This directory has been compiled through the efforts of UBPN's In Touch Program, coordinated by Kathleen Kennedy and members of her team (Nancy Birk, Mara Liska, Sharon Gavagan, and Bridget McGinn).

Goal:
The goal of this project is to provide a comprehensive resource listing to aid families and individuals in their search for specialized care. UBPN invisions that in the ongoing compilation of this directory that it will be broadening the scope to include licensed holistic practitioners and therapists.UBPN believes in supporting families in their search for full and accurate information and resources to assist them in making completely informed medical decisions.

Methodology:
A questionnaire was sent to all known BPI specialists/clinics who were requested to respond. Their responses follow. Responses are still being submitted and changes will be made as they are received. Many of the doctors also included bibliographical references to their published research. A second phase of this directory will be to provide a bibliography of those citations.
To suggest someone not on this list, please inform Kathleen (kathleen@ubpn.org) so that she may send them the questionnaire.

Thank You,
UBPN Board of Directors

Small technical glitch, to access the updated page from within this site you will need to reenter "ubpn.org" to reach the new page. Otherwise the "Home" link takes you to the old page. We are working on fixing this.

Sorry,
Bridget

Great job on the Medical Resource information. It really is interesting to see the doctors responses or lack there of. I also found it interesting as to how long some of the doctors/facilities have been in existence. Good job!
