The Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Education (FACE) in Alpharetta, Georgia, recently presented Palmer West with a "challenge grant" of $20,000 to assist the college with the purchase of new computers and the ADAM (animated dissection of anatomy for medicine) software program, a multi-media interactive educational tool that comprehensively simulates the human anatomy. Contributions from Palmer West faculty, staff, and alumni helped the college meet the challenge to raise the necessary $20,000 to match FACE's gift.
Dr. William Harris, president and founder of FACE, presented the check to Palmer West during his quarterly visit to the college, where for the past two years he has been a guest speaker in Palmer West's practice development program.
Since its founding in 1978, FACE has contributed more than $3.2 million toward the funding of chiropractic research projects, construction of academic buildings, and research centers.

Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles.

Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
