Back in September, we told you about the sudden passing of Dr. Jenefer S. Huntoon, who owned a naturopathic clinic on the corner of N. 45th at Interlaken. While the clinic was closed until further notice in early October, we just received this email from Dr. Ellen Sauter, who explained that the clinic will now reopen:
Thank you for this very nice article. Please note that Dr. Huntoon’s practice is re-opening and will begin seeing patients again on Monday, November 7, 2011. We have a new physician/medical director, Ellen Sauter, ND. The clinic staff will continue in their roles, with Camden as naturopathic assistant, Shiree as administrative assistant and Victoria as hydrotherapist. In honor of Dr. Huntoon’s legacy the clinic name will soon be changed to Jenefer Huntoon Memorial Clinic.
As some of you may know, there has been a naturopathic clinic at this location since 1956, when it was occupied as the Seattle campus for National College of Naturopathic Medicine. NCNM was Dr. Huntoon’s alma mater, and soon after the college moved to Portland in 1978, she established her own clinic here. She practiced here in Wallingford 34 years, and will be sorely missed.
According to Dr. Sauter’s LinkedIn profile, she practices naturopathic medicine at the Tualatin Clinic of Natural Medicine down in Oregon, and specializes in targeted nutritional interventions, botanical medicine, hydrotherapy, bio-identical hormone therapy, and counseling. You can also view her practitioner biography here.
The Jenefer Huntoon Memorial Clinic is located at 1329 N. 45th St. Phone (206) 632-8804. Currently, the website can be found at drhuntoon dot com.
