  Bastyr University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bastyr University was established as the John Bastyr College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1978 in Seattle, Washington (USA) by Sheila Quinn, Joseph Pizzorno ND, LM, William Mitchell ND, and Les Griffith ND, LM.
It is named for the late John Bastyr, ND, DC (1912-1995), a pioneering naturopathic physician and chiropractor in the Seattle area who was instrumental in keeping interest in naturopathic medicine alive through the 1960s.
In 1984, the school was renamed Bastyr College, and in 1994, it became Bastyr University.
