Nearly 30,000 doctors of chiropractic are now members of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP), with the organization just announcing that its membership numbers have exceeded 31,000, including 29,399 DCs. As of early May, the foundation also boasts support from 47 state chiropractic associations, 16 chiropractic colleges and 36 corporate sponsors.
Added Sherry McAllister, DC, foundation president: "It is a proud moment to see the chiropractic profession come together to showcase the many benefits that chiropractic care offers our nation. When a doctor joins the Foundation in membership, they're not just gaining resources and materials for their practice, they're also giving back to the profession and their communities."
Founded nearly two decades ago (2003), the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress does much more than educate the public about the benefits of chiropractic care; with white papers, health care alliances and various other endeavors, the F4CP promotes chiropractic to the health care industry including third-party payors, employers and health care practitioners. The foundation also brought a pro-chiropractic commercial to last year's Tokyo Summer Olympics, sharing the chiropractic message with millions across the U.S. and worldwide.
