"CCA member doctors are dedicated to their leadership role in funding these necessary studies, " said Dr. Willard Smith.
Over the past six years, the CCA, the nation's largest chiropractic state association (some 4,000 members), has donated $420,501.90 to the Consortium.
The CCA was a founding member of the Consortium; its educational affiliate, the California Chiropractic Foundation (CCF), is a Consortium institutional member.
"All of chiropractic benefits from these donations and research," said Dr. Meeker. He expressed his deep appreciation of the CCA members for opening their "hearts and pockets..."
