🚨 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲 & 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵

Wildfire smoke doesn’t have to be nearby to affect your health. Tiny particles in the air can travel for miles, impacting your lungs, heart, and overall well-being, even if you feel healthy.

As smoke continues to affect communities across Oregon, now is the time to protect yourself and the people you love. ❤️‍🩹

🍃 Stay indoors when air quality is poor.
😷 Wear a properly fitted N95 if you must be outside.
🏡 Create a clean-air space at home.
🥗 Support your body with nourishing, anti-inflammatory foods.
🩺 Don’t ignore persistent coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort.

Your health is worth protecting, not just today, but for the long term.

At NUNM Health Centers, we’re here to help you navigate wildfire season with evidence-informed, whole-person care.

🏆 Nearly 50 years of practice. Generations of physicians inspired. One extraordinary legacy.

NUNM proudly celebrates Dr. Noel Peterson, ND, DAAPM, recipient of the 2026 AANP Louisa & Benedict Lust Award. One of the Naturopathic profession’s highest honors.

An architect of modern, full-scope Naturopathic Medicine, Dr. Peterson helped advance Oregon’s scope of practice and pioneer prolotherapy, PRP, injection therapy, and regenerative medicine.

Beyond his clinical impact, he has served as a mentor and model for generations of physicians. Alongside his wife and longtime partner, Teresa Shelley, his extraordinary generosity has also helped make NUNM’s new campus and its debt-free future possible.

Dr. Peterson, your legacy lives in every healer you’ve inspired and in every life they will go on to touch. Thank you. 💚

Please join us in celebrating this deeply deserved honor! 👏

Every handshake, every smile, every conversation, the ribbon cut…

For more than four decades, Dr. Tori Hudson has watched NUNM grow, from classrooms tucked inside Portland’s historic buildings to a vibrant new home designed for the next generation of integrative healthcare.

In her latest reflection, she shares more than the story of a building. She shares the people, the purpose, and the unwavering belief that has shaped NUNM since 1956.

💚 “𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦.”

Those three words say everything.

Whether you’re an alum, student, patient, faculty member, or friend of NUNM, this is a story of resilience, vision, and what it means to continue moving forward, together.

Did you know that Portland opened the continent’s first accredited naturopathic medical university 70 years ago?

Yesterday the National University of Natural Medicine celebrated the opening of its state-of-the-art campus, which will bring 400 students into our central city. It will also bring the university’s education classrooms, clinical care, and research labs together under one roof for the first time.

Prosper Portland supported the campus relocation through a grant using Tax Increment Financing resources.
