Dr. Sid Williams, founder/president of Life College, and Dr. Nell Williams, senior vice president for student affairs, sign and finalize a bond issue for additional construction at the college.

MARIETTA, Georgia -- For the second time in five years, Life President Dr. Sid Williams has finalized a multi-million dollar bond issue to allow continued growth at the college he founded.

The $37 million in bonds, issued by the Marietta Development Authority, will finance Phase II of the college's campus-wide construction, including the expansion and renovation of the Sport Science Center and gymnasium, additions to the Basic Science Center, and completion of a new track and field complex.

In 1990, Life became the first chiropractic college in the country to achieve an investment grade rating on insured revenue bonds from Standard and Poor's, the nation's foremost bond rating agency. The $14 million earned from the sale of those AAA-rated bonds financed Phase I construction and renovation projects that included the Sports Science Center, Basic Science Center, and the 450-foot skybridge.

Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education

The chiropractic profession is confronting one of the most significant federal regulatory threats it has faced in decades. A new U.S. Department of Education (ED) accountability framework – commonly referred to as the “Do No Harm” (DNH) regulation – could place many chiropractic programs at risk of losing access to federal financial aid (student loans), potentially reshaping the future of chiropractic education and workforce development across the United States.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
