After a 10-month search for a college president, the board of trustees of the Parker College of Chiropractic selected Fabrizio Mancini,DC, to man the post of the college that James W. Parker conceived and built. Dr. Mancini will have 1,200 students and 300 faculty and staff under his guardianship.
Who is Dr. Mancini? He's a graduate of Parker (1990) who makes his home in Irving, Texas. This Texan, however, was born in Colombia, speaks five languages and built successful chiropractic practices in Europe and the U.S. He has an athletic bearing, is always nattily attired, tends to greet friends and acquaintances with a hug, and exudes energy and enthusiasm. The Parker Board choose him for his scholarship, professional and civic leadership, and for his strong commitment to Parker College and chiropractic.
"I'm passionate about Parker College and the profession of chiropractic," Dr. Mancini enthused. He considers the late Dr. James Parker a mentor and father figure. "He helped me understand what chiropractic is and to develop a true passion for the profession. Then he showed me, by his example, what a gift chiropractic is to humanity."
Dr. Mancini was president of the Parker College Alumni Association and remains active in community activities. He's on the executive board of the local chamber of commerce; a board member of the Irving School Foundation and the Irving Infant Intervention Center; a mentor for Hispanic students in the Irving school district; and a frequent lecturer to corporate and civic groups on health and motivation.
He's been awarded the 1995 Crystal Apple from the Association of Texas Professional Educators, and service awards from Parker College, the Salvation Army, Rotary Club, the American Legion of Schools, and the National Leadership Organization.
Dr. Mancini and his wife, Alicia, have a two-year-old son and are expecting a second child in September.
Back pain? Blame the psoas. Seems as if everybody wants to dive headfirst into their psoas at the first sign of trouble with the lumbopelvic-hip region. Perhaps no other muscle is blamed more for causing problems than the psoas. Yes, it is an important stabilizer of the lumbar spine, but it shouldn't be the only one on which you focus. There is another big player on the scene: the iliacus.
Two closely related viruses of herpes simplex, HSV-1 and HSV-2, can infect the human body. HSV-1 mostly infects the gums and skin, although it can cause more serious infection in the brain. HSV-2 mostly infects around the genital area. Infection with the virus can be unsightly and painful, especially for HSV-2.
What’s the simplest way to ensure prompt payment for your claims? Ensure that the insurance payer has no reason to deny them. Submitting a “clean claim” from the start can have a more significant impact on your net collections than any other step in your billing workflow. Net collections and accounts receivable (AR) can improve significantly when claims are clean from the start.
