Published September 17, 2026
A memorial service for Dr. Les Griffith will be held Monday, September 28th at 11am in the Chapel at Bastyr Kenmore. All are welcome to attend.
The Bastyr University community honors the life and legacy of Co-Founder Dr. Les Griffith, who passed away on May 15. A tireless advocate for naturopathic medicine, Dr. Griffith helped secure licensure for naturopathic physicians in Washington State, mentored generations of practitioners, delivered more than 4,000 babies, and dedicated his career to compassionate, root -focused patient care. His lasting impact on Bastyr, the profession of naturopathic medicine, and countless patients will be commemorated with the planting of a red cedar tree on the Kenmore campus in his honor.
