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.

Over the past two decades, more than 18 million spinal surgeries have been performed in the United States, and cervical disc replacements represent a fair share of those. Device recalls due to design flaws can place patients in difficult clinical situations, especially those who are symptomatic and reluctant to undergo revision surgery. This case highlights the role of chiropractors in managing complex postsurgical patients, particularly those with recalled spinal implants.

UnitedHealthcare Removing Prior Authorization for Chiropractic

UnitedHealth Group, parent company of UnitedHealthcare, has announced sweeping changes to its prior-authorization (PA) requirements that will eliminate the requirement for chiropractic care and numerous other healthcare services by the end of 2026. Doctors of chiropractic, other providers and patients have long lamented prior authorization requirements because they can delay needed treatment, limit access and even cause some patients not to pursue care.
