Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

SPARTANBURG, South Carolina -- Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic has signed a contract with McMillan Smith & Partners, an architectural firm with a long history of college design, to prepare detailed plans for the Reginald R. Gold Building. This is the college's first step in realizing its plans to expand the Sherman campus.

The new building has the potential to become the center of campus activities, since it will house 10 classrooms, a 1,500-seat auditorium, and the college's main cafeteria.

Ron Smith and Donza Mattison, representatives for McMillan Smith and Partners, were at Sherman to sign the contract, along with Sherman President Dr. David Koch and other college administrators.

Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap
Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap

What happens when best practices for patient care fall outside what guidelines endorse or insurance will cover? More importantly, how can clinicians ethically and effectively integrate non-reimbursed services that improve function, reduce disability and support long-term outcomes? These are not just clinical questions; they are economic and policy challenges that directly affect practice viability and patient access.
