Dr. Lisa A. Price is a naturopathic physician, research scientist, educator, author, and community advocate whose career has been dedicated to advancing whole-person, evidence-informed healthcare and addressing the social and structural conditions that shape health.
Dr. Price currently practices in Integrative Medicine at Fred Hutch Cancer Center, where she works within multidisciplinary oncology care to support patients during cancer treatment and survivorship. Her professional background bridges clinical medicine and biomedical research. Prior to entering clinical practice, she worked as a research biochemist and completed an NIH research fellowship in oncology and immunology. Over nearly three decades as a naturopathic physician, she has maintained a particular interest in translating scientific evidence into integrative approaches that recognize the biological, psychological, social, cultural, and environmental dimensions of health.
An educator as well as a clinician, Dr. Price has taught microbiology, biochemistry, and pathology and has written extensively about nutrition, integrative medicine, and cancer. She is the author and co-author of three conventionally published books addressing culinary nutrition and cancer care. Her scholarly and professional interests include integrative oncology, medicinal mushrooms, nutrition, whole-person care, health disparities, and the development of evidence-based models that meaningfully integrate conventional and complementary approaches to medicine.
Dr. Price's commitment to health extends beyond the clinic. She has been active in community organizing and advocacy around racial and social justice, health equity, environmental justice, and access to compassionate, culturally responsive care. In Seattle, her civic engagement has included organizing large-scale community actions and bringing together diverse organizations and communities around shared concerns. She has also advocated for policies and research approaches that center communities historically excluded from healthcare decision-making and scientific research.
Her work is grounded in the conviction that health cannot be separated from the conditions in which people live. Clinical excellence is essential, but meaningful healthcare must also recognize the effects of racism, economic inequality, environment, community, culture, trauma, and belonging. This perspective closely intersects with the Tubman Center for Health & Freedom's commitment to addressing health through both clinical and systemic approaches and to building healthcare that is culturally appropriate, community-directed, and rooted in dignity and liberation.
Dr. Price is also a professional playwright whose work explores race, science, environmental change, and institutional systems. Across her work as a physician, scientist, educator, writer, and organizer, she brings an interdisciplinary perspective and a longstanding commitment to ensuring that communities most affected by inequity have meaningful voice in defining the systems intended to serve them.
