The J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation of Tulsa, Oklahoma has offered a $20,000 grant challenge to Logan College of Chiropractic which is contingent upon the college reaching a $300,000 campaign goal by July 31, 1995. The $300,000 goal was prompted by an earlier $60,000 grant challenge to Logan from the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Education (FACE).
The J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation was established in 1948 by the late John E. and Lottie Mabee, both natives of Missouri. The Foundation is one of the top 40 major foundations in the U.S. with assets of over one-half billion dollars.

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.
