Virginia Chiropractic Association Celebrates One Year of Unity
The Virginia Chiropractic Association (VCA), which merged with the Virginia Society of Chiropractic (VSC) last year, celebrated one year of unification at its annual convention in Roanoke, Va., in late September.
The VCA and VSC officially merged on May 1, 2009 following several years of progressive unity talks that included a statewide survey of DCs, various meetings and a joint educational program.
Ready to "Have a Heart"?
Before you realize it, the holiday season will be a distant memory, a new year will be in full swing and Valentine's Day will be right around the corner. And with that day (actually the entire week, Feb. 12-19) comes the Oklahaven Children's Chiropractic Center's annual "Have a Heart" campaign, designed to raise money for the center's ongoing efforts to provide care to special-needs children.
As in previous years, the individual DC and school that sell the most "hearts" will receive the prestigious "Golden Heart" award. Last year's winners were Dr. Steven Loehr of Meek Chiropractic, Springfield, Mo., and Life University in Atlanta. For complete campaign details, visit www.chiropractic4kids.com.
The Palmer College Board of Trustees has approved a plan to expand the college's Florida campus by adding a two-story, 14,000 square-foot building with a price tag of $4 million. The Port Orange campus, now seven years old, has already expanded once - in 2004, when a second classroom building was added to accommodate the equally expanding student body needs.
"Realigning and expanding our space on campus, as well as in our clinic, allows us to offer services that we, quite simply, weren't able to fully accommodate in the past," explained Peter Martin, DC, president of Palmer College Florida.
