Ozes to receive honorary doctor of natural health arts and sciences degrees at Bastyr event

In recognition of their dedication to improving the health and well-being of the human community, Bastyr University will confer honorary doctor of natural health arts and sciences degrees upon Dr. Mehmet Oz (of “The Dr. Oz Show” fame) and his wife, Lisa Oz, at its Kenmore campus June 2. The evening will include a conversation with the honorees moderated by Warren Etheredge of The Warren Report.

The event is designed as “An Evening with Dr. Mehmet Oz and Lisa Oz.” It will begin with a VIP experience at 6 p.m., which will include a tented reception with the Ozes in the university’s now-blooming Medicinal Herb Garden, refreshments and food provided by O Wines and Bastyr University, and valet parking. Professional photographers will be on site, and all VIP guests will receive a signed copy of Lisa Oz’s newest book, “US: Transforming Ourselves and the Relationships that Matter Most.”

The degree ceremony will take place in the chapel. Immediately following, the Ozes will sit down with Etheredge for an intimate, moderated conversation. Etheredge’s interview will cover a wide variety of topics, including natural health, education and spirituality, along with questions about the couple’s personal and professional lives.

Tickets to the fund-raising event are $500 for the VIP reception and $125 for general attendance.
