There she worked closely with physicians of different backgrounds to solve the complex health issues that accompany chronic conditions such as diabetes, chronic fatigue, Lyme disease, cancer, and many others.
It is a passion of Dr. Layton to see Naturopathic Doctors fully integrated into the health care system. She is committed to seeing Naturopathic Doctors gain the right to practice the full scope of their training in all states. She has served on the House of Delegates of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. She served on the Board of the RIANP as Secretary and President through 2014, bringing RI closer to licensing NDs than it had ever been before.
