Dr Henry Skinner built what is now Battle Ground Healing Arts as a home side by side with his medical clinic in 1930 and served as a primary care physician for all of North Clark County, WA


Dr Stansbury had a wonderful  friendship with the elderly Dr Skinner and she is currently only the 2nd owner of the property in nearly a century.

Dr Stansbury began to convert what was a 1 car garage on Main Street into a medicinal apothecary to be called our NATURAL GOODS store or "apothecary".

The Reflector, Battle Ground's weekly paper announced the opening of the Natural Goods store and referred to the new business as an "apothecary",  the town's first use of the term. 


 This Reflector article from 2002 uses the terms Healing Arts and Apothecary helping to launch our unique brand.

As Dr Stansbury built out the apothecary, the  affiliated  "Family Practice" was rebranded as "Healing Arts" in 2002 to better reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the clinicians practicing alongside the NATURAL GOODS apothecary.

The NATURAL GOODS apothecary, also known as the HEALING ARTS APOTHECARY was a huge success and brought in patients to our practice and people curious to learn more about alternative medicine.

Our NATURAL GOODS apothecary continued to flourish and required  hiring additional staff as the supplements, teas, and natural medicines were well received by the community.

Dr Jill Stansbury was awarded an ethnobotany research grant and traveled to South America frequently, plus taught at 6-10 conferences per year, adding up to being away from Battle Ground  over half of the year for a decade.  


One of our volunteers was hired to run our Natural Goods apothecary while Dr Stansbury traveled extensively.

One of our staff purchased our herb shop inventory and ran our apothecary for her own profit and renamed the shop B.A.N.G - Battle Ground Apothecary and Natural Goods based on our patient referrals and well established  platform of support.


Dr Stansbury conducted extensive ethnobotany research in the Amazon.

This was the start of 2 difficult years for our apothecary.


Dr Stansbury realized that she was traveling too much and working too hard on outside projects, and that  communication from afar was too ineffectual to be successful  with the current arrangement.  She decided to stick closer to the Battle Ground apothecary and build out our natural remedies and alternative medicine offerings.

Less than 3 years after attempting to have an apothecary partner, we had to terminate the arrangement.  


We smudged, we painted, and we started up the BG Healing Arts Apothecary for ourselves again in the fall of 2015.


We wished B.A.N.G well  in their new location and referred those seeking their unique offerings their way.

Upon taking over apothecary operations for ourselves again, the Happy Days Returned!!

 

Because our former partner used the name B.A.N.G - Battle Ground Apothecary and Natural Goods, Dr Stansbury decided  to take the Natural Goods  sign off the apothecary store front to avoid confusion with their continued use of our original name.  


We simply continued using our long established

Healing Arts Apothecary tradename befitting of our federal trademarks

and BG Healing Arts.

  With the several challenging years now solidly behind us,  the business flourished and grew.


We installed a new roof and added a new solarium on to our apothecary to  give us more space to accommodate the growing business.


A life long plant lover, Dr Stansbury started propagating house plants and exotic medicinals in the solarium.


The expansion investment started to payoff  immediately with a demonstrable increase in foot traffic and subsequent sales.

 Dr Stansbury's Reasearch Grants were renewed!


Dr Stansbury also received a 5 book contract to codify her life's work in the study of Herbal Medicine into a textbook series entitled 

Herbal Formularies for 

Healthcare Professionals.


Dr Stansbury illustrated the  series herself using her rusty undergraduate degree in scientific illustration.


As royalties started to roll in, Dr Stansbury began turning the medical practice over to her associate physicians and focus on her research and her apothecary.

This was a difficult year for much of the planet as the COVID virus hit, businesses shut down, forest fires raged, and social issues became urgent and sometimes violent.  


We felt very fortunate that our apothecary was able to thrive and allowed to stay open as an essential business.  We were able to share our strength with others offering expert medical care, free services for some populations, and gave away essential medicines and goods to those in need.

The plants and gardens did not seem fazed by the strife in the world and we were blessed with a wonderful year for fruits and flowers.


We offered online classes instead of our usual in-person gatherings due to the restrictions on social gatherings.


We joined forces with Yacolt Mountain Farms again to  make our 2nd annual Farmer's  Market a big success, even wearing masks.

We were thrilled to host actress Judy Greer at the Healing Arts Apothecary after she and Dr Stansbury worked on a project together in April.


We had such fun and it finally put a fire under us to touch up the paint on the dingy door jamb - because there was a Movie Star visiting and all.
